Understanding and Treating Blood Conditions
At Fortis Hospital, we understand that blood disorders can be a source of concern. Our dedicated team of hematologists is here to provide comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and support for a wide range of blood conditions.
What is Haematology?
Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the blood, blood-forming organs (bone marrow), and the immune system. Hematologists diagnose and treat disorders affecting red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and the proteins involved in blood clotting.
Conditions We Treat
Fortis Hospital offers advanced care for a variety of blood disorders, including:
• Anaemia’: Conditions characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to fatigue and shortness of breath.
• Leukaemia: Cancers of the blood and bone marrow that affect white blood cell production.
• Lymphomas: Cancers of the lymphatic system affecting white blood cells.
• Myeloma: A cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow.
