Paediatric Haematology Oncology & BMT is a unique department at HCG that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of benign and malignant haematological disorders and oncological problems seen among children and adolescents. Paediatric haematologists are specialists who treat children with blood disorders which could be benign or malignant (cancerous). Paediatric oncologists are specialists who treat children with cancer.

Health conditions seen in children cannot be treated the way they are treated in adults. Also, both the diagnosis and management of problems in children are best managed by doctors managing children with these problems. Children may not be able to answer the medical questions properly or cooperate for medical exams and close involvement of parents is essential. Paediatric haematologists /oncologists are trained specialists who are well aware of how to interact, examine and treat young children and teens in a way that makes them feel at ease.

The discipline of paediatric haematology encompasses a broad spectrum of health conditions including, primary immunodeficiency disorders, thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, aplastic anaemia and other bone marrow failure syndromes, iron-deficiency anaemias, megaloblastic anaemias, other refractory anaemias, autoimmune blood cell disorders, bleeding disorders, white blood cell disorders, Platelet disorders and blood cancers.
