Hemoglobinopathy Management

Hemoglobinopathies are genetic disorders affecting hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for oxygen transport in the blood. Conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia fall under this category.

Thrombosis and Hemostasis Management

Haematologists diagnose and treat disorders related to blood clotting, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and clotting disorders like thrombophilia..
