Pediatric Oncology
Because childhood cancers are so rare, most young patients are referred to specialized centers for treatment. Meitra Hospital’s Pediatric Oncology department is a multidisciplinary branch of oncology to treat infants, children and adolescents suffering from cancer and blood diseases. Pediatric Oncology works closely with other specialties in medicine for surgery and other treatments.
Our experienced team of pediatric oncologists is here to support your child with customized, compassionate care. From accurate quick diagnosis and the latest treatments to extensive psycho-social support, including an OPD clinic for long-term follow-up of pediatric cancer patients, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive family-centered care in an atmosphere where kids can feel safe at home.
