ABOUT HEMOPHILIA

Hemophilia is a hereditary, congenital bleeding disorder due to a deficiency in blood clotting factor. 

This prevents an affected individual from forming a strong and stable blood clot, and causes People with Hemophilia (PWH) to bleed for longer periods of time than people whose blood factor levels are normal. 

The main problem for PWH is bleeding internally, often into muscles and joints, causing pain and potentially permanent disability.
