Wits Paediatric Oncology Group

Public and private paediatric oncology and haematology in Johannesburg.

We believe in a truly collaborative approach and our regular multidisciplinary team meetings ensure that your child receives not just a first and a second opinion, but multiple opinions followed by a consensus decision based on the highest ethical and academic standards. We conduct regular Morbidity and Mortality discussions to audit our own practice, and abide by clinical governance regulations. We are proud to have provided the training ground and foundation for paediatric oncology in Johannesburg.

Although we are made of individuals, our strength lies in the fact that we are able to come together and passionately debate the treatment option for each child, to ensure that each child receives a tailor-made, child-centered treatment plan. We contribute to Continuing Medical Education activities, and network with international experts to achieve up-to-date care. Our team members run clinical trials in oncology for high risk Hodgkin lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, melanoma, high grade glioma, Ewing sarcoma and neuroblastoma and in haematology for haemophilia, sickle cell disease and immune thrombocytopaenia (ITP). In addition, we participate in national trials of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma, germ cell tumours and neuroblastoma. We are affiliated in many ways with the International Paediatric Oncology Society (SIOP), the Society for Neuro-Oncology Sub-Saharan Africa (SNNOSSA) and various non-profit organisations to help our families access as much support as possible.

We believe in a true team approach – the child and family are central in decision-making and we make decisions with the family, not for the family.
