NOPHO

NOPHO, the Nordic Society of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology, is a professional society founded in the early 1980s by a group of colleagues seeking to improve survival for children with cancer. It has grown into a collaborative community of physicians, nurses and researchers from Nordic and Baltic countries. NOPHO also works increasingly with international groups, including I-BFM, ITCC, PaeNNO, SIOP and SIOP Europe.

The society supports professional exchange and cooperation through annual meetings and educational activities. Its website provides information about protocols, the organization and its board, as well as dedicated sections for nursing professionals and young members. NOPHO also maintains a biobank and offers information about applying for membership. These resources help connect members and make information about the society’s activities accessible. Visitors can find contact details for the secretariat and links to related organizations. Together, these activities reflect NOPHO’s focus on collaboration among professionals involved in paediatric haematology and oncology across the region, with the broader aim of advancing care for children with cancer.
