People with bleeding disorders continue to face significant challenges in diagnosis, access to treatment and care around the world. To overcome these challenges, several WHO Member States—led by the government of Armenia, and co-sponsored by the governments of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Latvia, Morocco, Malta, Nepal, Paraguay, Spain, Sri Lanka and Togo—are leading efforts for the adoption of a dedicated WHA resolution to increase equitable access to diagnosis, treatment and care for people with bleeding disorders across the globe.
The WFH—as a non-state actor in official relations with the WHO since 1969— strongly supports this milestone initiative. This draft resolution, titled Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders, has been officially proposed by the Member States for discussion and approval at the WHO 158th Session of the Executive Board, taking place in Geneva, Switzerland from February 2 to 7, 2026. This resolution would serve as an official WHO policy document and a commitment by the WHO and the national governments to address the health inequities faced by the bleeding disorders community worldwide.
We invite you to attend this important informational webinar where you can learn about the latest developments and concrete steps undertaken by the WHO Member States, led by Armenia, to pass this WHA resolution, learn about WFH advocacy in this regard, and find out how you and your organization can support and advocate for this initiative.
The session will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation in French and Spanish.
