What is Haematology?

Haematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood-related diseases such as haemophilia and anemia.

What is a Haematologist?

A haematologist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases related to blood and blood-forming organs, such as bone marrow. Haematologists are trained to address both benign and malignant haematological conditions, which include disorders like anaemia, blood clots, and blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
