WGBDs and reproductive health: disparities in treatment and care

On March 8, International Women’s Day, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. EST, the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) will host a webinar reproductive health in women and girls with bleeding disorders (WGBDs) and the disparities they face in treatment and care. Reproductive health is a key topic to be addressed for WGBDs, as they have an increased risk of many health complications, including caesarean delivery, unplanned hysterectomy, and preterm birth, among others.

“Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders and Reproductive Health: Disparities in Treatment and Care” will cover the following topics:

Dawn Rotellini, WFH Board Member and chair of the WFH Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders Committee; Maureen Baldwin, MD, gynecologist-obstetrician (U.S.A.); Claudia Khayat, MD, WFH von Willebrand Disease and Rare Bleeding Disorders (VWD-RBD) Committee member and hematologist (Lebanon); and Marion Bräuer, a woman with a bleeding disorder (Austria), will address the above topics, and discuss the importance of early diagnosis for WGBDs as a key factor to avoid reproductive health complications later in life.

Live interpretation for this webinar will be offered in French, Spanish, Russian and Arabic.
