Why Stem Cell Therapy Costs Vary Around the World?
Stem cells are gaining ground as reparation for different diseases, immune disorders, and injuries, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Despite this, this therapy’s cost may differ greatly depending on where stem cells are transplanted. Popular MS drugs can cost upwards of $3,000 per month, according to Fox News. Clinics like Swiss Medica offer various stem cell therapies,...
