Haematology/Oncology/BMT (Cancer, Blood)
We are committed to the care of children with cancer and blood diseases.

We provide a medical service for children with various types of blood problems including thalassaemia, haemophilia and autoimmune blood disorders such as thrombocytopaenic purpura, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, autoimmune neutropaenia, as well as bone marrow failure syndromes such as aplastic anaemia, Fanconi Anaemia, Diamond-Blackfan Syndrome and others.
Oncology Service
The Paediatric Haem-Onco Division has the support of a multidisciplinary team consisting of Professor Robert Pho (Microsurgery and orthopaedics), Dr Suresh Nathan (Reconstructive Surgery), A/Prof Prabhakaran and Dr Dale Loh ( Paediatric Surgery), Dr Chou Ning and Dr Yeoh Tseng Tsai ( Neurosurgery) as well as our Paediatric radiation oncologist Dr Michael Back.
Our philosophy of Total Cancer Care comes in the form of a clinical service, full laboratory service, psychosocial support service, patient/parent education programs as well as clinical, translational and basic research. The infrastructure set-up at our Viva-University Children's Cancer Centre (VUC3), which houses all our cancer patients, meets the standard of care needed for managing immunocompromised patients undergoing chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant, and specialized pediatric oncology nurses.
Shared-Care and Outreach Programmes
Besides managing local patients, we manage foreign patients from the region including East and West Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Burma, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
We run shared-care programmes as well as outreach programmes with paediatrics oncologists in these countries especially through the ASEAN Children's Foundation and Viva Foundation to design special treatment protocols tailored to their needs. We organise an annual Childhood Cancer Workshop for training and clinical updates on childhood cancer for the region.
