hi mumtaz
I suggest you consult Dr Jarrar. He is a paediatric haematologist in the National Guard Hospital, in King Abdulaziz Medical City. Although I stay in Dammam I had consulted him and only wished he was practising here. He will certainly help you. If you too are an expatriate like I, I can understand how difficult it is to get an appointment with a hemo. My son Hassan is on RODEX, and has started to look very pale now. I want to consult a hemo but private hospitals here do not have a haemetologist and to get an appointment in a government hospital you need influence.I wish you all the luck. By the way how old is your son?

Hello Mr. Mumtaz,

I used to go to the Children's Hospital in Shamaesi when I was there in Riyadh. I don't know about the current situation though as policies change and it has been about a decade or so now.
