Thailand’s Ramathibodi Hospital has announced that the world’s first stem cell transplant involving a young patient with COVID-19 was performed successfully.  

Dr. Suradet Hongeng, an expert in stem cell transplants at the department of paediatrics, said a five-year-old boy donated bone marrow stem cells to save his seven-year-old sister who was born with a blood disorder known as thalassemia.

Apart from the COVID-19 risks, doctors also had to race against time because the little girl had been completely physically prepared with chemotherapy, and consequently her body had low immunity.
