2024 Annual Meeting of the General Assembly held

The WFH 2024 Annual Meeting of the General Assembly was held today in Madrid, Spain, as part of the WFH 2024 World Congress. The meeting featured reports given by WFH board members and was attended by WFH national member organizations (NMOs). During today’s meeting, Cesar Garrido was voted as president for a second four-year term; Mathieu Jackson and Ekawat Suwantaroj were voted as lay board members; and Miguel Escobar and Alok Srivastava were voted as medical board members. Benin and Rwanda became full NMOs; and Burundi, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Guinea, and Sierra Leone became associate NMOs. This brings the total number of NMOs in the WFH family to 152.

WFH leverages collaboration in Cambodia to support community

Early this year, the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program team went to Cambodia to see first-hand what progress has been made in the country thanks to support provided by the WFH. They saw very quickly that care has improved significantly since the WFH first started working in the country 15 years ago. Read the article here. Find out more about the Program by attending the Presentation Theatre session taking place on Monday at 11:00.

Session: WFH Humanitarian Aid Program: celebrating 10 years of partnerships and achievements
Time:
11:00 to 11:20
Location: Presentation Theatre, Exhibit Hall 9

Poster gallery and exhibit hall open tomorrow

We’re sure that you have a busy day planned for day 1 of Congress, but don’t forget to take a moment to visit the exhibit hall and the poster gallery, both of which open at 10:30. The exhibit hall will feature the bleeding disorders organizations and the industry companies that work at the heart of the inherited bleeding disorders community. The gallery will feature hundreds of posters showcasing the latest research in our field today.

La sustentabilidad durante el Congreso

The WFH is taking steps to ensure that Congress is a sustainable event by hiring vendors with sustainability initiatives, providing a carbon emission offset tool, making water fountains available in the exhibit hall (to reduce the need for bottled water) and reducing the quantity of printed material distributed at the event.
