Less than a week after returning home from the WFH 2022 World Congress in Montréal, Canada, Yannick Collé gained the courage to use her voice and take action to become a leader of her national member organization (NMO). “I feel more confident [after attending the WFH World Congress]. I have applied to be a member of the board of my NMO to use the skills and knowledge that I have learned…” explained Collé.
While the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) 2022 World Congress may be over, those that had the opportunity to attend the event will be able to share the knowledge they gained with their peers and patients for years to come. Cindy Bailey, Junior Vice-Chair of the WFH Musculoskeletal Committee, was one of a handful of individuals to receive the Hemophilia Alliance Travel Fund grant to take part in the WFH 2022 World Congress in person. “To be able to discuss topics with other providers immediately after a lecture gives the content more meaning,” said Bailey. “Reviewing the new information in this way with peers makes it easier to retain and incorporate it into your thought process for future patient care.”
The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and the Palestinian Ministry of Health (PMoH) signed a 5-year MOU on June 5, 2022, to implement the WFH Path to Access to Care and Treatment (PACT) Program. The Palestine PACT program will be jointly managed by the PMoH and The Palestine Avenir for Childhood Foundation (PACF) Hemophilia Committee with the full support of the WFH. This MoU will ensure that more people with inherited bleeding disorders in Palestine can reliably access safe treatment and care, regardless of their type of bleeding disorder, or gender.
