?RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, December 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre continues to strengthen its position as a leading referral center for pediatric hematology and oncology through a comprehensive care model built on multidisciplinary expertise and highly specialized clinical programs.

The Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Department receives approximately 350 newly diagnosed cases annually among children under the age of 14, including leukemia, lymphomas, solid tumors, neuro-oncology cases, and a wide spectrum of blood disorders.

Advanced services include bone marrow transplantation, bone marrow aspiration with or without biopsy, lumbar puncture with or without intrathecal therapy, and genetic counseling in collaboration with metabolic and genetics services when clinically indicated.

The department operates across four main divisions covering hematologic and lymphoid malignancies, stem cell transplantation, solid and neuro-oncology tumors, and non-malignant blood disorders. It also hosts a specialized program for histiocytic disorders, one of the largest of its kind globally, and oversees all stem cell transplants related to immunological disorders in coordination with the Immunology Department.

Inpatient care is provided across specialized pediatric units with 70 dedicated beds, including treatment areas and intensive and high-dependency care units. These services are complemented by home healthcare and virtual clinics, enabling continuity of care for children across the Kingdom closer to their homes.
