Sociedad Argentina de Hematologia

What Sociedad Argentina de Hematologia does

Sociedad Argentina de Hematología (SAH) is a nonprofit professional medical society founded in 1945 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the principal credentialing body for hematology specialists in Argentina, aggregating more than 1,300 hematologists and residents through regional chapters and subspecialty subcommittees covering areas such as oncohematology, bone marrow transplantation, hemostasis and thrombosis, pediatric hematology, and molecular biology. The society's revenue comes from recurring annual membership dues, fee-based training programs (including the four-year Carrera de Médico Especialista en Hematología 2026–2029, postgraduate hematology nursing, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation training), event registration for scientific congresses such as HemaConecta and the CAHT Congress, and industry sponsorship and grants from pharmaceutical companies.

SAH's product portfolio is a mix of digital content and credentialing services rather than proprietary technology. Core offerings include the official open-access Revista Hematología (indexed in NÚCLEO BÁSICO, LILACS, LATINDEX, SIIC, REDIB, DOAJ), the Campus SAH learning management system, the Videoteca video library, the Galer\u00eda de Im\u00e1genes hematology image bank, the 2025 Consenso de Diagnóstico y Tratamiento de Enfermedades Hematológicas, and a 470-point recertification cycle (valid 2027–2031). The society also coordinates a national clinical trial network of more than 30 hospitals and runs monthly clinical symposia (Ateneos). Distribution is community-led via direct membership, regional chapters, scientific congresses, and virtual channels (Zoom, Vimeo, YouTube/SAH TV, WhatsApp), with international exposure through the EHA-SAH Tutorial and the Latin American GLAM symposium.
