Top 3 Pediatric Hematology Specialists in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Pediatric hematology looks after children with conditions affecting the blood and blood-forming system, from infancy up to age 14. Families often arrive here after a family doctor or general pediatrician finds an abnormal blood result, a pale colour, unusual bruising or bleeding, or an illness pattern that needs closer checking.

The platform's topic summary describes broader child health care: growth checks for infants, vaccination schedules, and common acute illnesses such as colds, flu, diarrhoea and vomiting, along with allergy assessment and follow-up for premature babies. Some doctors on this list also offer general services, so describe your child's exact situation when you book.

Consider booking a visit when your child has:

• a fever that keeps going
• a delay in growth or feeding in an infant
• a cough or shortness of breath that does not settle
• a rash together with fever
• routine follow-up every two months for infants

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 and go to the nearest emergency department without waiting for an appointment if your child has difficulty breathing, blue or grey lips, a seizure, unusual drowsiness or difficulty waking, bleeding that will not stop, or many small red or purple spots appearing with a fever. A baby under three months old with a fever should be assessed urgently the same day, even if they seem well.

How to choose among the doctors here

If you searched for the best Pediatric Hematology Specialists in Jordan, use this list as a shortlist rather than a ranking of quality. Compare the profiles on these points:

• Match the subspecialty to your reason. Dr. Ahmad Abdel Latif Mallouh and Dr. Mahmoud Yasin Al Sheyyab list pediatric hematology and pediatric oncology work. Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli is a pediatrician whose listed subspecialties include pediatric hematology, and whose biography mentions anemia among the conditions he follows.
• Location. Dr. Al-Hantouli practices in Khalda, Amman; Dr. Mallouh in Jabal Amman, Amman; and Dr. Al Sheyyab in Ramtha, Irbid. Choose the district that fits your travel and your family's routine.
• Hospital setting. Dr. Mallouh's profile names the outpatient clinics of Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre, and Dr. Al Sheyyab's names the specialty outpatient clinics of King Abdullah University Hospital. If your child may need hospital-based tests or follow-up, ask how the clinic coordinates them.
• Records. Dr. Mallouh's biography asks families to bring blood tests and reports. Ask whether the doctor will review past results before the visit.
• Published information. Dr. Al-Hantouli's profile is verified by the platform and shows confirmed hours. Check the details on any other profile directly with that clinic.

What to expect at the first visit

A first pediatric hematology visit usually combines a history, an examination and a discussion of whether further tests are needed. Before you go:

• Write a short timeline: when symptoms began, any temperatures recorded, medicines given, and how the child is eating and sleeping.
• Bring previous blood test results, medical reports, discharge notes and the vaccination record.
• For infants, note birth details and any feeding or growth concerns.
• List your questions. Useful ones include what the next test is for, how results will be followed, when to return, and which warning signs should prompt an earlier visit.

During the consultation, the doctor may examine your child, explain findings in plain language and agree on next steps. Ask for written instructions if you find the details hard to remember. Bring a comfort item if it helps your child settle.

Insurance, fees and booking

Ask these questions before you book:

• Which insurers does the clinic accept, and does this apply to follow-up visits too?
• What is the consultation fee, and does a follow-up cost the same?
• How do I book, and what is the rescheduling or cancellation policy?
• Do I need a referral from a family doctor?
• Are any tests done at the clinic, or at another facility?

This page quotes no prices beyond consultation fees published on individual profiles, and where a fee is published it is shown on that profile. Confirm costs and coverage with the clinic directly, because fees and insurance arrangements can change.

Getting there

Each clinic is in the district named on its profile: Khalda in Amman for Dr. Al-Hantouli's clinic, Jabal Amman in Amman for the Jordan Hospital and Medical Centre outpatient clinics, and Ramtha in Irbid for the King Abdullah University Hospital specialty outpatient clinics. Check the current address and entrance details with the clinic before you leave, and allow extra time at busy hours for parking and waiting. If you are travelling some distance, plan rest breaks for infants and young children.

Checklist before you book

• Check the district and plan the route and travel time.
