Welcome to the Department of Haematology, a progressive & dynamic center for basic & translational sciences, clinical research, patient care, undergraduate & postgraduate teaching. Here, clinicians, scholars, investigators & postgraduate trainees work together to harness the power & resources of Sheikh Zayed Hospital in pursuit of excellence.

The history of the department dates back to 1986 when Sheikh Zayed Hospital was established. At that time, Prof. Moeen-Ul-Deen set up the department to serve the community for years. Recently, a remarkable woman, Prof. Mona Aziz Gillani, FPS Haematology, made some of the most influential & much-needed changes in the Department of Haematology. She is currently the Head of the Department of Haematology & in charge of the Blood Bank.

Today, the Department of Haematology comprises four full-time faculty members, 10 postgraduate trainees, 1 medical officer, and 3 senior house officers, supported by technologists & technicians.

The Department of Haematology conducts routine and special haematology tests for Sheikh Zayed Hospital. The department works in 3 shifts to provide 24-hour coverage of tests for hospital patients, including on gazetted holidays. The Blood Bank provides blood and its components to patients of Sheikh Zayed Hospital, following standard guidelines for screening and issuance.

The department provides training for M.Phil. Haematology, FPS Haematology, FPS primary class, and FPS part II students as part of their elective rotations. It also trains B.Sc.
