Persons with haemophilia should be advised by a comprehensive Haemophilia Treatment Centre staffed by a multidisciplinary team skilled in the care of this chronic bleeding disorder. Parents of patients with severe haemophilia are usually trained in home infusion of clotting factor when their child is about four years old and self infusion is usually accomplished by about 12-14. However, infants and boys with mild haemophilia must rely on a Haemophilia Centre or other medical facility for clotting factor instructions.

Please contact Sr. Anne Gillham by e-mail (or phone 011 787- 6710; or cell phone 083-225-9850), or your nearest Haemophilia Treatment Centre if you have any uncertainty regarding management.
