Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If sibling donor match is not available you can go for matched unrelated bone marrow transplant.
Because it is Thalassemia intermedia whether bone marrow transplant is required or not the transplnt surgeon and haemotologist will decide.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
