Need For Extra Care of Haemophilia Patient Amid Covid-19: Expert.

Pune, Apr 17 (UNI): India stands second in the number of hemophilia patients in the world, according to the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH). As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, it is imperative to communicate clear messages to people with hemophilia and to seek the best avenue to provide them with care.
The long-term effects of the pandemic on patients with hemophilia can take weeks or months to manifest, and are likely to include clinical, as well as complex physical, psychological, and socio-affective aspects. The management of this crisis requires a joint effort by people with hemophilia, the health system, and patient associations. Healthcare professionals must be proactive and anticipate the potential impact of the pandemic on the population with hemophilia in order to minimize the consequences of this crisis, Dr Naresh Purohit. Executive Member - Association of Studies for Bleeding Disorders told UNI here.
On the occassion of World Haemophilia Day, WHO-Covid-19 Technical lead Dr Purohit stated that haemophilia is a inherited disorder. It happens because of a defect in one of the clotting factor genes on the X chromosome. The chronic bleeding condition tends to occur in males, since the gene can be passed from mother to son. Women can also be carriers of haemophilia, but they are unlikely to have the disorder.
