About the department

The Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of benign and malignant hematopoietic diseases, solid tumors in children from birth to the age of 20 years. The department's doctors also specialize in bone marrow transplantation. The department is the largest and the only facility of this kind in northern Israel. It is noteworthy that the success rates of this facility reach 80%, which is comparable to the registered ones in Western Europe and the United States.

The department widely uses laparoscopy, cryoablation, laser surgery, focused ultrasound, isolated regional vascular perfusion, embolization of tumor vessels, etc.
