Hemophilia in The Philippines

Majority of Filipinos with bleeding disorders live below poverty line (Around US$233/month income or less). Many of them either have limited or no access at all to medicines mainly because of poverty and lack of education (or lack of awareness on their condition)

Very few hospitals have the capability to handle patients with bleeding disorders. Hospitals that are properly equipped to treat people with bleeding disorders are mostly based in urban centers like Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao. Worse, they are mostly private hospitals that are not affordable to majority of the patients.
