Bone Marrow Biopsy
Overview
A focused diagnostic procedure where a small marrow sample is taken — usually from the hip — under local anaesthesia and light sedation. Our partner hospitals deliver bone marrow biopsy using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Blood-cancer treatment in Australia is well covered publicly but has 1–4 week initiation waits. Novel therapies often clinical-trial only. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same bone marrow biopsy is available from $300 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
