The WFH 2023 Comprehensive Care Summit: New Developments in Bleeding Disorders and MSK concluded last week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The event encompassed the biennial International WFH Musculoskeletal (MSK) Congress, and included MSK, medical and multi-disciplinary tracks—all centering around people with bleeding disorders. Over 70 countries were represented, and over 700 attendees joined in person to make the event a grand success. The Summit provided a platform for healthcare professionals, industry experts, patients, and their families to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in the field of comprehensive care.

The three-day Summit featured dozens of engaging and thought-provoking sessions. Each session helped to advance participants’ knowledge and thus improve patient care in the field of inherited bleeding disorders. The hands-on workshop gave participants the chance to engage in face-to-face discussions with experts, while the medical, multidisciplinary and MSK sessions allowed participants to gain valuable insights and learn about the latest advancements in care. Every session generated a high level of interest, stimulated thought-provoking questions from participants, demonstrated the importance different aspects of care within the comprehensive care framework, and emphasized the importance of exploring innovative approaches.
