The children's cancer and blood disorders service at Perth Children's Hospital, which runs a cord and marrow transplant programme for patients up to sixteen.
Perth Children's Hospital is Western Australia's paediatric tertiary hospital, at 15 Hospital Avenue in Nedlands. Its oncology and haematology department is described on the hospital's own site as caring for children from birth to sixteen with cancer, malignant blood disorders, non-malignant blood disorders including haemophilia, and those who need a bone marrow transplant.
The service page states that the department manages haemopoietic stem cell transplantation - that is, transplantation of the blood-forming stem cells that repopulate the bone marrow - and that it runs a Cord and Marrow Transplant Program. Cord refers to umbilical cord blood as a source of donor stem cells; marrow to bone marrow. This is transplantation as part of treatment for cancer and serious blood disorders, and it is a different thing from the injected cell treatments sold by private regenerative medicine clinics.
The site describes where care takes place within the hospital: inpatients are in Ward 1A on Level 1, reached by the green lifts, while outpatient clinics and same-day care are in Clinic H, also on Level 1. Inpatient care runs around the clock; outpatient clinics run weekdays from 8am to 4pm, and same-day care from 8am, closing at 5.30pm on Monday to Thursday and 6pm from Tuesday to Friday.
Referrals are handled by fax on 6456 0097 or by email to the hospital's referrals address, and the switchboard is (08) 6456 2222. The page names no individual clinicians and says nothing about cost; this is a public hospital service reached by referral.
