By going to the WFH 2024 World Congress, you will be helping the WFH continue to deliver the programs and events that are so critical to our community, especially in countries that have limited resources. The event is a forum for participants to share knowledge and education, foster collaboration, and extend their network. It’s also a chance for WFH leadership to meet with representatives of various countries to discuss development activities.
People from all specialties and interests will be taking part in the Congress, including patients, hematologists, pediatricians, orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, physiotherapists, dentists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, geneticists, laboratory technicians, researchers, scientists, policy makers, regulators, advocates, and industry members.
Participants can expect to be treated to a world-class program that will cover the very latest medical and multidisciplinary developments. There will also be six professional track sessions in the fields of dentistry, laboratory sciences, musculoskeletal care, psychosocial, nursing, and women and girls with bleeding disorders. The progress of WFH Programs will also be covered, including the World Bleeding Disorders Registry (WBDR), the Gene Therapy Registry (GTR), the Cornerstone Initiative, the VWD Initiative, the WFH Path to Access to Care and Treatment (PACT) Program and the Twinning Program. And, of course, a rich social calendar will help participants get the most out of their time in Madrid.

They deepened their engagement with the global community through the establishment of the Travel Grant Program, which allows US-based multidisciplinary healthcare professionals the opportunity to attend WFH global training workshops.

Hemophilia of Georgia has stood with us for over three decades, playing an early role in distributing donated factor via the WFH Humanitarian Aid program. Our relationship has deepened over the years as they continued to support this program and came on board as a founding Chapter Challenge champion in 2016. Their belief in educating future leaders is clear in their investment in the Youth Leadership Workshops, which has led to the training of over 50 young adults. They also support workshops devoted to educating providers and patient leaders on how to collect and use data to advocate for better patient care. Their staff generously volunteer their time as trainers and as well as serving on various committees.
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation helps advance our mission on several fronts. They inspire others to follow their lead as a founding champion of the NHF Chapter Challenge. Their commitment to equality of access is demonstrated in their support of the Cornerstone Initiative, which lays the foundation for care in the world's most underserved regions, as well as programs that aim to raise awareness and improve care of women with bleeding disorders and those with von Willebrand disease. We also benefit from their steadfast engagement with various programs including the WFH Twinning Program and their individual leaders’ contribution to our leadership and committees.

The outcomes of interest collected by the WBDR include demographic characteristics, clinical and treatment-related outcomes, burden of disease outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
The WBDR includes five functional scales as part of its extended data set:
The WBDR Minimal Data Set (MDS) is a set of data on demographics, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment which are collected on patients participating in the WBDR.
The WBDR Extended Data Set (EDS) is a larger set of data, with more details than the MDS, which includes questions on patient demographics, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment and burden of disease. The EDS can be used by hemophilia treatment centers to collect data on patients participating in the WBDR. The WBDR Extended Data Set (EDS), was added to the database in March 2019.

The WFH was established in 1963 by Frank Schnabel, a Canadian businessman born with severe hemophilia A. He believed that patient organizations could be much more effective—and do more to represent the interests of people living with bleeding disorders—if they worked together. The first WFH Congress was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on June 25, 1963, and was attended by representatives from 12 countries. Now, the WFH and our global network of national member organizations (NMOs) represent the interests of people with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders in 152 nations.
