Medical Care

The Clinical Section is involved in the diagnosis and treatment of serious disorders of haematopoiesis, especially acute and chronic leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, disorders of platelets and coagulation, as well as some types of anaemia. The main focus of interest is bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The Clinical Section includes outpatient, inpatient and laboratory departments. The inpatient department has a capacity of 35 beds, of which 21 are standard care beds, 10 ICU and 4 transplant unit (TU) beds. Patients are attended by a team of experienced physicians and nurses, a clinical psychologist and a physiotherapist.

Comprehensive services available from laboratory complement the service and insure a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis. Blood banking and pheresis services include all the modalities necessary for excellent care for hematologic disorders. Nurse specialists focusing on hematology/oncology patients are essential participants in the health care team.

A dedicated outpatient facility provides a convenient and comfortable location for chemotherapy and daily access for patients with acute problems.

For many years, the physicians of the Clinical Section have been participating in the postgraduate training and education of physicians specialising in Hematology and Blood Transfusion Medicine. This takes the form of internships at the institute’s inpatient department, as well as courses and specialist seminars within the framework of the Institute for Further Education of Physicians and Pharmacists (ILF). From September 2002 the institute members have also become involved in graduate education.

New results and findings are presented by our physicians at international congresses and symposia in the form of lectures and posters. These results are also published in specialist journals.
