Pediatric Hematology focuses on blood-related problems in children. This includes diagnosing and treating conditions that affect red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets, such as anemia, low platelets, and immune disorders. Care also involves the management of complex conditions like aplastic anemia and hemoglobinopathies, such as thalassemia and sickle cell disease, other hemolytic anemias, bleeding disorders such as hemophilia, inherited platelet disorders etc. with regular monitoring to ensure healthy growth and development. Appropriate diagnosis and timely treatment in pediatric hematology results in better outcomes.
Pediatric Oncology is a specialized field that addresses childhood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, solid tumors such as neuroblastoma, brain tumor, Wilm’s tumor etc. Our care includes early detection and accurate diagnosis of childhood cancers, followed by tailored chemotherapy, targetted molecules, immunotherapy and supportive therapies for children. We also provide long-term follow-up and relapse prevention programs. A key focus is providing child-friendly care that reduces discomfort and offers comprehensive support for both children and their families.
