Hacettepe University Children’s Hospital is the main referral hospital for children who are in need of BMT for malignant and (particularly) non-malignant inherited disorders that are commonly seen due to the increased incidence of family marriages. More than 50 %of the transplanted patient population consists of inherited diseases (for 26 different diagnoses), including very rare diseases. The majority of the patient population consists of high, and very-risk patients. Due to the lack of mid-level practitioners in the BMT Unit until recently, the nurses have gained significant experience in follow up of transplant related complications, participating in decision-making process as well. They are actively involved in developing institutional protocols in the follow up of patients with a variety of diagnoses.     (Click here for more information)
