Pediatric Clinic Fundeni includes 3 sections.

In Divisions I and II are cared for patients with particular haematological malignancies (acute / chronic leukemias, lymphomas, myelodysplastic syndromes, histiocytosis syndromes hemo-phagocytic) and non-malignant (congenital or acquired anemia, thrombocytopenia / trombocytopathies, neutropenia, clotting disorders) and gastroenterological disorders (liver, gastritis, autoimmune, collaboration with the Center of Liver Transplantation Fundeni).

In Division I there is the biggest national center for care of children and adolescents with Thalassemia and the only Comprehensive Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients with Hemophilia accredited since 2015 European in Romania (along with the Hematology Clinic Fundeni).

In Pediatry Clinic Fundeni are diagnosed and treated annually more than 100 new cases of hematologic malignancies, the clinical highest national addressability.

Section II includes the Department of Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation performing all transplant procedures at the highest standards. Department of Gastroenterology provide pre and post liver transplant care.

Section III provides integrated treatment of children with kidney disease, acute and chronic renal failure and renal transplantation (clinical nephrology and dialysis), systemic lupus erythematosus, etc. Pediatric Clinic Fundeni has a capacity of 111 beds for continous hospitalizations, and a daycare department.
