In Lebanon, refugees and non-Lebanese people with inherited bleeding disorders (PWBDs) can’t access treatment products because they aren’t nationals. Staying true to its mission to support every patient within Lebanese borders who needs care, the Lebanese Association for Hemophilia (LAH)—the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) national member organization (NMO)—has been stepping in to provide access to treatment regardless of nationality or legal status.

For years, Tanvirul Haq’s childhood was shaped by pain, limited mobility, and the constant disruption caused by severe bleeding episodes. Diagnosed with hemophilia as an infant, the Bangladeshi youth struggled to participate in everyday activities that many healthy children take for granted. Today, thanks to access to non-factor replacement therapy provided by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), he can attend school regularly, play with his friends, and enjoy a far more active and independent life.

National member organizations (NMOs) are the heartbeat of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). The WFH works in close collaboration with NMOs to provide them with support tailored to their realities to help them increase the level of care for the people with bleeding disorders (PWBDs) in their countries. Every few weeks we will be profiling an NMO on the WFH News page, showcasing the work that they are doing, the challenges they are facing, and the difference they are making in their communities. Today, we look at the NMO in the Ivory Coast, the Hémophilie et autres maladies du sang de Cote d’Ivoire (ONG IHMS-CI).
