Stories that bring us together at the WFH World Congress

People with bleeding disorders (PWBD) are at the heart of the World Federation of Hemophilia. Their experiences, expertise, and voices shape our mission and drive meaningful change. At a time when the world can feel increasingly divided, their stories remind us of what unites us: resilience, compassion, and a shared commitment to Treatment for All.
