EXPERTS stress need for government to pay more attention to PWH.
Medical experts from the National Hematology Society and the officers of Haplos recently talked about haemophilia at the Bulong Pulungan at Sofitel. It’s a chronic bleeding disorder that affects males involving a missing or malfunctioning factor essential for proper blood clotting.
The Philippine Haemophilia Foundation, represented by its vice president, Dr. Flerida Hernandez, stressed the need for government to pay more attention to persons with haemophilia (PWH).
Dr. Rosalina Anastacio said that this can start at the barangay level, where health workers play a vital role. Dr. Angelina Mirasol emphasized that the safety of its management must always be considered—which is one of the visions of the recently established Philippine Blood Disease and Transfusion Center.
