Leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Myelodysplastic syndromes (MOS) are types of cancer that can affect the bone marrow, the blood cells, the lymph nodes and other parts of the lymphatic system.

It is often said that nurses are the heart of healthcare. The field of Hemato oncology nursing, in particular, is probably one of the most challenging and rewarding fields in nursing. A hematology nurse works with patients suffering from blood disorders and cancer. The specialty is closely linked to oncology nursing, and hematology nurses work closely with fellow nurses, hematologists and physicians. Special skills and advanced knowledge are vital in this specialty, as is empathy and compassion. Regardless, if a hematology nurse chooses to focus on adults or pediatric patients, many will be facing terminal illnesses or life-threatening diseases such as hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, lymphoma and leukemia.

In this background, nursing oncology department of RGCI&RC has planned the academic feast for nursing fraternity.

We cordially invite you to participate in the event and make the most use of the vast knowledge and experience of the learned faculty.
