Brief Background

entire bleeding disorders community in the country to improve the care and management of people with haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. HFN was founded in 2005 by a mother who wanted to see a change in the medical care being given to people living with haemophilia in Nigeria. HFN was registered with The Corporate Affairs Commission on 26th October 2005 and currently has as over 400 members.

HFN became a full member of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) in 2006 in Vancouver, Canada. HFN is part of a global network of volunteers caring for people with inherited bleeding disorders. HFN benefitted from the WFH twinning programme (2013 to 2016) with the National Hemophilia Foundation, USA to share experiences and develop the organisation. Haemophilia is a highly treatable condition. Therefore no child born with a bleeding disorder should have to live with pain, disability, or the prospect of early death in Nigeria. “Treatment for all” means all people with bleeding disorders; including inhibitor patients, rare factor deficiencies and females should have access to safe and effective treatment. Meanwhile, working towards safe products, proper diagnosis, Haemophilia management, and care by trained specialists should be available.
