description Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is now an established treatment modality with definitive indications for many hematological disorders. However, HSCT requires tremendous resources, and it is increasingly challenging for transplantation experts to practice in the developing world and to reach a compromise between requirements and available resources. Based on 30 years of experience and 4256 transplants (60% allogeneic and 40% autologous), this article focuses on the challenges our HSCT program encountered since it started in 1989 and what opportunities we see to solve them. Since 1997, HSCT procedures increased dramatically with the opening of 15 HSCT units distributed all over Egypt.
