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.

A special alert system highlights patients with bleeding disorders followed at our hospital, indicating the underlying pathology and the appropriate emergency medication, and accelerating the contact with the Hematology/Haemostasis specialist. Our specialised nurses offer a continuous and personalized care; our physicians are dedicated to the individual patient’s needs; our technical personnel aims at the highest diagnostic performance; our research team works for a better understanding of bleeding disorders and their treatment.
