Abstract
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare serious hematologic disorder caused by hematopoietic stem cell failure in maintaining hematopoiesis. AA is virtually fatal if not treated, and diagnosis and therapy require extensive hematologic infrastructure. Academic medical centers in Brazil have continuously and significantly contributed to diagnostic tools and therapy development, from novel transplant strategies to drug combinations and implementation science in the national public health system. In the present review, we discuss how the collaborative effort among academic centers in hematology has contributed to improving health care for patients with aplastic anemia. We also discuss what needs are still unmet and how to overcome these challenges.
