haematology

Brief Introduction

The haemtology department is one of the eminent departments in the Medical Research Institute, that has many activities, and provides medical services for many patients. The department consists of highly specialized laboratory units, an in patient ward, and an outpatient clinic, which diagnose and treat haematological diseases.  The staff members of the department are highly qualified university professors, assistant professors ……….etc. with a team of well trained technicians and nurses.

Vision

The Haematology department is one of the eminent departments in the Medical Research Institute aiming to play a leading role in Laboratory and Clinical Haematology through highly specialized laboratory units, an inpatient ward and an outpatient clinic which diagnose and treat haematological diseases through highly qualified staff members with a team of well trained technicians and nurses.

Mission

The haematology department is dedicated to enhance its service contributions in the community through:

  • Postgraduate Educational programs
  • Basic and clinical Research
  • Health services
These goals are performed through:
  1. Performing routine haematological laboratory investigations serving outpatients and inpatients of the medical research institute.
  2. Performing specialized laboratory investigations for benign and malignant haematological disease.
  3. Haematological and molecular diagnostics for various hematological diseases.
  4. Clinical management of patients with haematological disorders, and providing haematological consultations to other departments.
  5. Provide a high –quality and cost-effective heath care through evidence based diagnostic and therapeutic services.
  6. Participation in scientific researches with other University departments aiming to improve and solve current medical problems facing our community.
  7. Staff members of the department participate in teaching post graduate in the medical research institute.
  8. The department holds a monthly scientific meeting discussing recent advances in haematology in addition to weekly conferences displaying case presentations in the department to enhance knowledge and skills of professionals and researchers.
  9. The department sustains a working and learning environment to our staff and students that promotes team work , commitment and professionalism.

Research plan

Aims
  1. Improving scientific Research in the department.
  2. Improving the researchers` talents.
  3. Increasing the co-operation with other departments in the institute and working in association with other health care institutions inside or outside of Alexandria governorate
  4. Reducing the overall morbidity and mortality from thalassemia, leukemia and lymphoma by providing early diagnosis, better intervention and possibly prevention of disease progression and complications
  5. Improve health service for all hematological patients

Research plan

Our aim is to use the updated immunological and molecular methods in the diagnosis of different hematological diseases and use target therapy , immune modulators and genetic therapy in management of hematological patients in

  • The field of anemia and bone marrow failure
  • Bleeding disorders and thrombosis
  • Leukemia and other blood malignancies
  • Thalassemia
Researches that are going on in the department
  • Researches for the molecular diagnosis of thalassemia and Philadelphia.
  • Researches for the molecular characteristics of different types of leukemias and how they affect the prognosis and treatment.
  • Researches for the immunological causes of thrombocytopenia.
The department provides
  • An outpatient clinic and inpatient ward for treatment and follow up of all hematological patients.
  • Laboratory for the diagnosis of anaemia and bone marrow failure (CBC-Retic-Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy-Hb and protein electrophoresis-G6PD assay)
  • Laboratory for coagulation and platelet disorders(PT,PTT, D-dimer, platelet function)
  • Molecular laboratory (PCR-FISH)
  • Cytochemistry laboratory
Future vision
  • Use updated therapies for the treatment of different hematological therapies.
  • Use the updated molecular and immunological methods in the diagnosis of hematological diseases.
