title: Pediatric hematology and oncology in Pakistan.
abstract: Pediatric hematology and oncology has only recently started developing within Pakistan, with centers in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, and Multan. Efforts are being made to update blood bank facilities and to standardize the level of care being provided throughout the country. A pediatric oncology group has recently been established. A lot of work still needs to be done, however.
