About the clinic

Fetal stem cell therapy for type 2 diabetes at EmCell Cell Therapy Center in Kyiv, Ukraine, focuses on restoring insulin sensitivity and reducing medication dependency. As the world's first clinic specializing in this method, it holds patents for treating type 2 diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. The facility maintains a cryobank with 20,000+ live samples and operates under GMP and ISO 15189 standards.

Diagnostics and evaluation

Before treatment begins, patients undergo a detailed medical assessment to determine the best cell therapy protocol. The diagnostic phase includes several tests to check the body's current state and identify potential complications of diabetes.

  • Laboratory tests. These include immunophenotyping, biochemical analysis, cytology, and hormone profiling.
  • Imaging and functional studies. Evaluations involve ultrasound, ECG, EchoCG, Doppler studies, spirography, and densitometry.
  • Infection screening. PCR testing checks for viral and bacterial pathogens, including HIV, hepatitis, and COVID-19.

Stem cell treatment options

The clinic uses regenerative cell therapy to improve how the body processes glucose. Fetal stem cells help restore tissue sensitivity to insulin and reduce the liver's production of excess glucose and lipids. Stable improvements are reported in 74% of patients treated for type 2 diabetes at this center. Three main treatment courses are available:

  • 2-day course. This is for patients with a stable medication regimen who do not need dose adjustments.
  • 3-day course. A complex therapy that combines fetal stem cells with the design of a new medication plan.
  • 5-day course. This intensive program combines stem cell injections with traditional medication and supervised drug adjustments.

Supportive therapies and package details

Treatment programs often include additional procedures to support recovery and general health. Patients can choose add-on options such as hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), massages, halo therapy in a salt room, or facial treatments using fetal stem cells. These therapies aim to improve the condition of arterial walls and overall circulation.

To make the visit easier, the clinic provides several services included in the program. These services help international patients manage their stay in Kyiv without extra stress:

  • Transportation. Free pick-up from Kyiv train or bus stations and daily transfers between the hotel and clinic.
  • Language support. An interpreter is provided to help with communication during medical consultations.
  • Long-term follow-up. Patients receive continued support from a dedicated manager and their treating physician after returning home.

You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about the specific patented methods used for diabetes treatment.
