In the early 1980s, two organizations shared responsibilities for the same patient group, highlighting the need for their integration. In 1982, a meeting in Røros brought together the Nordic Hematology Society and the Nordic Society for Pediatric Oncology. The discussion led to the decision to merge, resulting in the formal establishment of the Nordic Society for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (NOPHO) in Reykjavik in 1984.
