The World Health Organization (WHO) Executive Board has endorsed a new resolution aimed at closing major gaps in care for people with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. The resolution highlights the global reality that bleeding disorders remain widely underdiagnosed and undertreated, with more than 70% of affected individuals lacking adequate access to therapy. It also emphasizes that women and girls face additional barriers due to stigma, limited awareness, and inconsistent clinical recognition.
If adopted by the World Health Assembly in May, the resolution would commit member states to strengthening diagnostic systems, expanding access to preventive and on‑demand treatments, and reporting regularly on progress. It also calls for a detailed implementation plan by 2028 and formal recognition of World Hemophilia Day. The World Federation of Hemophilia has welcomed the move, calling it a critical step toward global health equity.
