Hematology

The Division of Hematology provides expert care for patients with a variety of blood disorders, including malignant hematological diseases, such as acute and chronic leukemias, MDS (myelodysplastic syndromes), multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as benign blood diseases, such as anemias and coagulation disorders. Patients are treated in the Hematology outpatient clinic, featuring a range of subspecialties, ambulatory care facilities, a clinical ward, a bone marrow transplant (BMT) unit, and laboratories. The Division of Hematology is affiliated with the Sackler Faculty of Medicine of the Tel Aviv University for leading-edge scientific and clinical research and ongoing medical education.
