Project Elevate Her, a multi-year global awareness, advocacy, and fundraising initiative founded by Maia Meier, is using some of the world’s highest peaks to spotlight the needs of women and girls living with bleeding disorders (WGBDs). As a global charity partner, the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is proud to be part of this initiative that will have a strong impact on our community, and which closely aligns with our commitment to improving the recognition, diagnosis, and care of WGBDs.

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.

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).
