Comprehensive Care for Pediatric Hematology-Oncology
At Sparsh Children’s Hospital, our Pediatric Hematology-Oncology department is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children facing a wide range of hematological and oncological challenges. We understand that these journeys can be daunting, but we are here to offer unwavering support, world-class treatment, and a beacon of hope for children and their families.
Community Outreach and Early Detection
We are committed to raising awareness about childhood cancer and blood disorders through community outreach programs. Our pediatric hemat oncology specialists collaborate with schools, pediatricians, and rural clinics to promote early detection, which is often key to successful treatment outcomes. These efforts help break stigmas and bring timely care to more families.
Child Life Specialists at Your Side
To make treatment less intimidating, our pediatric hemat oncology unit employs child life specialists who use age-appropriate education, play, and distraction techniques. This approach helps children better understand procedures and reduces anxiety, fostering emotional resilience throughout their healthcare journey.
Safe and Comfortable Inpatient Experience
When inpatient care is required, we ensure that children feel safe, supported, and cared for. Our dedicated pediatric hemat oncology wards are designed to be bright, cheerful, and equipped with child-friendly amenities. From infection control protocols to pain management, every detail is crafted to create a healing environment.
Blood Bank and Transfusion Services
Children undergoing treatment in our pediatric hemat oncology unit may need blood transfusions or platelet support. Our in-house blood bank ensures timely and safe transfusions, overseen by experienced clinicians who closely monitor each child’s response. These critical services are part of our integrated care model.
Tailored Treatment for Every Child
No two children are the same, and neither are their treatment needs. At Sparsh, we offer personalized care plans within our pediatric hemat oncology program, taking into account the child’s age, condition, response to treatment, and family situation. From diagnosis to follow-up, we are committed to individualizing care for better outcomes.

These programs include regular screenings, nutritional counseling, psychological support, and rehabilitation services to help children transition smoothly from treatment to recovery and a healthy life beyond cancer.Genetic Counseling and Family Support Our pediatric hemat oncology team recognizes that some blood and cancer disorders may have a genetic component. That’s why we provide genetic counseling services to help families understand inherited conditions, assess risks for siblings, and plan for the future. This supportive approach is vital in empowering families with the information they need to make informed healthcare decisions.

We understand the emotional impact of a pediatric hemat oncology diagnosis. Our team includes child psychologists and counselors who provide mental health support to help children and families cope with stress, anxiety, and fear. We offer one-on-one therapy, support groups, and school reintegration programs to nurture emotional resilience.
Transitioning to Adult Care
As children grow into young adults, they may require support in transitioning to adult healthcare services. Our pediatric hemat oncology department offers structured transition care programs to ensure a smooth handover to adult specialists, while maintaining continuity and quality of care.
Integrative Therapies for Holistic Healing
Healing goes beyond medicine. In our pediatric hemat oncology care model, we incorporate integrative therapies such as play therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness practices. These holistic interventions complement traditional treatments and help reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, and enhance the overall healing process for young patients.

For children with advanced illnesses or complex needs, our pediatric hemat oncology department provides palliative and supportive care. This includes pain management, symptom control, emotional support, and family counseling. Our goal is to improve quality of life and provide compassionate care at every stage of the child’s journey.
International Protocols and Clinical Trials
Our pediatric hemat oncology specialists follow internationally recognized treatment protocols and collaborate with research networks to offer access to cutting-edge clinical trials. This ensures that children receive the most advanced, evidence-based care available, and in some cases, promising treatments not widely available elsewhere.
Empowering Families Through Education
At Sparsh Children’s Hospital, we believe that informed families are empowered families. That’s why our pediatric hemat oncology team provides detailed education about diagnoses, treatment plans, medications, and home care strategies. We conduct regular workshops and counseling sessions that help parents understand the complexities of pediatric cancers and blood disorders, while also building confidence to manage care at home.
Nutrition and Wellness Support
Nutrition plays a vital role in treatment and recovery. Our pediatric hemat oncology department includes pediatric dietitians who create customized meal plans that support immune function, reduce side effects, and promote growth during therapy.
