Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a hereditary blood disorder in which blood lacks a protein such as Factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or Factor IX (Hemophilia B.) The lack of factor prevents the blood from coagulating causing bleeds of hemorrhages. Hemophilia patients are treated intravenously with clotting concentrates either on demand due to bleeds or by regular treatments or prophylactics. In the developed countries people who suffer from hemophilia receive proper, regular care and live long fulfilling lives. By contrast, hemophilia patients in developing countries where factor is too costly live with the long-term effects of repeated hemorrhages which cause crippling, amputation and in severe cases early death.
