title: The status of blood and marrow transplantation in Philippines.
abstract: The first blood and marrow transplant in Philippines was successfully performed in 1990, but despite this early start and the opening of two other transplant centers, only 21 transplants have been performed in two of the three existing transplant centers. The low number of transplants is due to several factors including the prohibitive cost.
