Hadassah UK is supporting the Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit at Hadassah which is the only effective therapy for many immune system disorders and blood cancers requiring stem cell transplants. Many of these diseases are hereditary and occur more frequently in Israel due to the high rate of marriage between relatives in many Arab, Bedouin and Jewish communities.
Hadassah is a global referral centre for bone marrow transplants for non-malignant diseases and bone marrow failures. For these patients, transplantation is the only option and their only chance at survival. Hadassah is the only facility in the greater Jerusalem area that offers complex oncology and bone marrow transplant treatments for children from all over Israel and abroad.
The new unit is a dedicated, spacious new unit complete with six patient isolation rooms – a child-friendly environment especially decorated to calm and reassure, and most importantly, its outstanding team specialises in providing children with the highest standard of compassionate care.
Hadassah researchers have discovered the reason behind recurrent life-threatening infections in infants that lead to bone marrow failure.
