This was stated by Dr. Syed Salman Naeem Gilani, Stem Cell Therapy Consultant, while talking to Capital TV.
“The ‘Stem Cell Transplant’ therapy has the capacity to revolutionize the scope and nature of medical treatment for those who are being suffered from numerous diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatism, paraplegia and heart muscle tissue post-heart attack,” he said.
He said that the activity of stem cells declined with the age and number starts declining. “But there are areas in our body where their activity and number stays high throughout life. These areas include Bone Marrow, Blood, Adipose Tissue (Fat) etc. As Stem Cell Transplant physicians we collect Stem Cells from these areas and deliver them where they are required to bring that tissue or organ back to normal.”
He described the stem cell transplant was the latest and most cutting edge technique for the treatment of Patients with various illnesses, added: “the therapy is becoming a popular option worldwide for the treatment of those diseases that did not have any adequate management available.”
Stem Cell transplant has provided hope for the treatment of many diseases that were thought to be untreatable in the past throughout the Globe, he noted, added that there were almost 100 individual diseases that could be treated through stem cell transplant today and more and more treatments were being added frequently. “Some of the examples of diseases that can be treated through Stem Cell Transplant include, Neurological diseases like Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, ALS, MS etc, Cardiovascular Diseases like Heart Attach (MI), Congestive heart failure etc, Autoimmune Diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, SLE, Type I Diabetes etc, Musculo-skeletal diseases like Osteoarthritis, Tennis elbow, Frozen Shoulder, Muscular Dystrophy etc and Skin and Hair diseases like Aging skin and Hair fall to name a few.”
There is no lab available in Pakistan today that can process and separate Stem Cells and for this reason we have collaborated with ATI-GEN Cell that is an FDA Approved, cGMP Cell Processing and Storage Facility in Trabzon Turkey. We have already started treating patients in Pakistan with the help of the services of ATI-GEN Cell in accordance with International Recommendations and the prevailing law of HOTA, MoH Pakistan.
