The unit is well equipped to handle a broad range of general and paediatric surgeries for conditions such as cancer, tonsillitis, appendicitis, sinus, asthma, allergies, bone deformities, and ear, nose and throat (ENT) problems. With the latest technology and under the expert care of our team of specialists and dedicated staff, our young patients recover in good time and are able to return quickly to the mainstream of life.

Day care treatment, including chemotherapy and observation are also available.

Making the Child Feel at Ease

Parents are encouraged to stay with their children throughout the hospitalisation and meals can be arranged for them.

A Better Outlook For Life

The promise of a normal, fulfilling life is the reason why patients with end-stage kidney diseases are increasingly opting for living donor kidney transplant.

Transplantation is a gift of life. It saves lives and restores the quality of life. With successful kidney transplantation, patients no longer need dialysis.

Living donor kidney transplant has shown high success rates. Once a suitable living donor is identified, transplantation can take place immediately, eliminating the long wait imposed by transplants using cadaveric donations.

World Class Treatment

Gleneagles and Mount Elizabeth Hospitals have a proven track record of performing donor kidney transplants successfully.

Our experienced, qualified teams of professionals are well-equipped with advanced technologies and equipment. You are assured of the best treatment.

Experienced Team of Multidisciplinary Professionals

Our multidisciplinary transplant teams provide you with invaluable support, guidance and care during and after your transplant.

Our transplant teams include: Transplant surgeons

Nephrologists

Anaesthesiologists

State-of-the-Art Equipment

In Stereotactic Radiosurgery or Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), a non-invasive and safe technique that has shown good results, our hospitals use modern Linear Accelerator (LINAC) based systems for treating intra-cranial tumours. Hospital stay and recovery time is reduced as hospitalisation is not needed for these procedures.

In Stereotactic Radiosurgery, a single high dosage of ionising radiation is delivered to the tumour

SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy) is used with a number of fractions of radiation for larger tumours, and where the tumour is very close to a critical organ, such as the optic nerve

Haematological Illnesses parkway

HAEMATOLOGY & STEM CELL TRANSPLANT CENTRE

Haematological Illnesses - What Can Be Done

Diseases of the blood may come in different forms. Among the diseases that can be classified here are leukaemia, lymphomas and myelodyplastic disorders.

Leukaemia is a white blood cell malignancy; the malignant cells originate from the marrow. In due course, it will replace the normal bone marrow and spill into the peripheral circulation and into other organs.

The lymphoma is a malignant disorder of the lymphatic cells. It can spread rapidly to other organs.

In myelodyplasia, early blood cells residing in the marrow became abnormal and could not mature. In due course, the patient will either developed acute leukaemia or marrow failure.

At Mount Elizabeth Hospital, we are able to provide comprehensive services to diagnose and treat them in the best way possible.

World Class Treatment

Our specialists will determine if the patient requires either general or specific treatments. The standard treatment regimes may include either chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy, or a combination of both.

At times, the use of biologic therapy like monoclonal antibody, interferons or even a stem cell transplant may be needed to provide high level of success.

With regard to haematopoietic stem cell transplants, the donors can come from several sources, such as from a sibling, an unrelated donor or from the umbilical cord blood from childbirth.

Haematopoietic stem cell transplant is an established treatment for many cases of haematological malignancies and some cases of life threatening non-malignant conditions. We are currently using the state of the art approach to the use of haematopoietic a stem cell in the treatment of these disorders; myeloablative approach for young patients and non-myeloablative approach for older patients or for those who are deemed unfit to undergo heavy doses of chemotherapy.

We are also well versed with the use of high dose chemotherapy and the use of peripheral blood stem cell transplant as a marrow rescue as in the treatment of myeloma, relapsed lymphoma and in certain solid tumours.

At present, we are exploring the use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation as a form of immunotherapy in advanced cases of solid pancreatic tumours, renal cell carcinomas, the colon and small cell lung cancer.

Other State-of-the-Art Techniques

Our specialists have found that certain auto-immune disorders, may also benefit from haematopoietic stem cell transplants. These auto-immune disorders include multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythromatosus, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis.

Related Services

Several important supportive services are available at the centre to facilitate treatment and to ensure the smooth recovery of the patients being treated.

Antibiotics, fluid replacement, blood transfusions, management of venous access etc are some of these supportive care services that are necessary to ensure good patient recovery.

Besides the collection of blood stem cells, the apheresis programme is another of our supportive care programme to ensure availability platelets to our post-chemotherapy or transplant patients.
