About Dr. Divya Bansal
Dr. Divya Bansal has experience of twenty-three years in haematology. She has performed over eight hundred bone marrow transplants. What makes her unusual is that she trained in pediatrics first and then went into clinical haematology with a DM from AIIMS Delhi. That combination means she handles both children and adults with blood cancers and marrow disorders.
Dr. Divya worked as a Consultant in Haematology at St. Mary’s Hospital under Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, so she’s seen how the British system runs blood cancer care and transplant programs. Handles haploidentical transplants where only a half-matched family member is available, with high rejection risk. Treats aplastic anemia and bone marrow failure syndromes. Also uses BMT for severe autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis.

Patient Experience & Approach
Parents of thalassemia kids say Dr. Bansal explained transplant as an actual cure instead of just continuing transfusions forever, which nobody had told them was even possible. Her pediatric expertise is evident in her specialized skill and natural ease in handling scared children undergoing chemo and transplant, a distinct skill from treating adults.
