Résumé

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the curative treatment for many malignant and non-malignant blood disorders and some solid cancers. However, transplant procedures are considered tertiary level care requiring a high degree of technicality and expertise and generating very high costs for hospital structures in developing countries as well as for patients without health insurance. During the 11th annual harmonization workshops of the francophone Society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC), a designated working group reviewed the literature in order to elaborate unified guidelines, for developing the transplant activity in emerging countries. Access to infrastructure must comply with international standards and therefore requires a hospital system already in place, capable of accommodating and supporting the HCT activity. In addition, the commitment of the state and the establishment for the financing of the project seems essential.
