Cen­tre Hos­pi­tal­ier Uni­ver­si­taire Vau­dois (CHUV), Depart­ment of Women-Moth­er-Child, Divi­sion of Pae­di­atrics, Hematology/Oncology Unit

The Lau­sanne Haemophil­ia and Bleed­ing Disorders Care Cen­tre is part of the Cen­tre Hos­pi­tal­ier Uni­ver­si­taire Vau­dois (CHUV), the Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal of Lau­sanne, which is one of five Swiss Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tals, and is ide­al­ly locat­ed in the heart of the French-speak­ing part of Switzer­land.

The Cen­ter is cer­ti­fied as “Euro­pean Haemophil­ia Com­pre­hen­sive Care Cen­tre” (EHCCC), and is com­posed by two Clin­i­cal units (“Pae­di­atrics” – Head: PD Dr. med. Mat­tia RIZZI – nest­ed in the Haema­to-Oncol­o­gy Unit of the Divi­sion of Pae­di­atrics and “Adults” – Head: Prof. Dr. med. Loren­zo ALBERIO – part of the Divi­sion of Haema­tol­ogy) and the Haemosta­sis Lab­o­ra­to­ry facil­i­ties (Diag­nos­tics and Research – Head: Prof. Dr. med. Loren­zo ALBERIO) of the Cen­tral Haema­tol­ogy Lab­o­ra­to­ry.

Our (Pae­di­atric clin­ic) goal is to pro­vide com­pre­hen­sive care for chil­dren and their fam­i­lies fac­ing a bleed­ing dis­or­der (such as hemo­phil­ia A and B, Von Wille­brand dis­ease and oth­ers) or a throm­boem­bol­ic com­pli­ca­tion.

As a uni­ver­si­ty cen­tre we offer mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary care with a team com­pris­ing a spe­cial­ly trained nurse and staff from each spe­cial­i­ty on site. As a hemo­phil­ia refer­ral cen­tre, a bian­nu­al or as need­ed mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary con­sul­ta­tion is orga­nized, con­sist­ing of an ortho­pe­dist, a phys­io­ther­a­pist and a radi­ol­o­gist in addi­tion to the hema­tol­o­gist and spe­cialised nurse.

We pro­vide spe­cial­ized care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addi­tion, we work close­ly with the adult hema­tol­ogy team (“Adults”) to ensure that the young adult receives opti­mal tran­si­tion and care.
