In 2009, The Department
of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of
KHCC was awarded an international accreditation
from the College of American Pathologists
(CAP). This international accreditation
testifies to the exceptional high quality
of KHCC’s pathology and laboratory
services. KHCC
also received an accreditation from the
Health Accreditation Council of Jordan (HCAC)
which affirms that KHCC is applying the
national healthcare quality standards for
patient care, patient safety, and organizational
excellence.
Currently,
our highly qualified oncologists and healthcare
professionals (163 oncologists and consultants)
and 440 nurses, trained specifically in
oncology nursing, work tirelessly to ensure
that patients receive the latest in comprehensive
cancer care. In addition, KHCC’s commitment
to continuous education for its entire medical
team and healthcare personnel as well as
a strong fellowship program makes KHCC a
world-class institution.
KHCC
has established programs that focus on all
stages of comprehensive cancer care: From
prevention and early detection, through
diagnosis and treatment, to palliative care.
KHCC
treats all cancers and performs approximately
100 bone marrow transplants each year. The
KHCC BMT program is one of the largest and
most successful programs in the Middle East,
achieving cure rates compatible with international
standards. It oversees both matched allogeneic
and autologous transplants. The KHCC BMT
program performs transplants utilizing cord
blood, making it the only program in Jordan
and the second in the region that offers
such a highly specialized procedure. Other
non-cancer cases are also treated through
the KHCC BMT program including thalassemia,
aplastic anemia and other metabolic diseases.
