Next year, the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and La Federación Española de Hemofilia (Fedhemo) will host the WFH 2024 World Congress in Madrid, Spain, from April 21 to 24. The event will be the most comprehensive one of the year in our field, with over 90 hours of continuing educational sessions across the medical and the People with Bleeding Disorders (PWBD) tracks, as well as six professional development tracks: Nurses, Dental, Laboratory Sciences, Psychosocial, Musculoskeletal (MSK) and Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders (WGBD).

A big part of Congress is the abstract presentations, and the WFH is happy to announce that the call for abstract submissions opens in just a few days, on September 15, 2023. If you are involved in research, this is your chance to submit an abstract and have the opportunity to share your work with thousands of delegates from around the world!

We encourage abstract submissions from allied health professionals in academic and community settings; community organizations; healthcare providers and organizations; and students who are doing new and innovative work. All abstracts will be submitted to a blind peer review by an international panel of experts. New this year, the WFH will be accepting trial-in-progress and encore abstracts.
