EHCCC Insel­spi­tal Bern, Uni­ver­si­ty Clin­ic for Hema­tol­ogy (adults)

At the EHCCC Insel­spi­tal Bern we treat adults with con­gen­i­tal bleed­ing disorders caused by a lack of coag­u­la­tion fac­tors, espe­cial­ly patients with hemo­phil­ia A, hemo­phil­ia B, Von Wille­brand syn­drome and oth­er rare fac­tor defi­cien­cy dis­eases, or con­gen­i­tal platelet dys­func­tion (throm­bo­cy­topathies). As a cen­tre of the high­est care Lev­el CCC (Com­pre­hen­sive Care Cen­ter), our mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary team offers com­pre­hen­sive inte­grat­ed care for affect­ed adults and car­ri­ers.
