The Kenya Haemophilia Association (KHA) is appealing to both national and county governments to consider budgeting funds for the treatment and management of haemophilia conditions.
The association's board member, James Kago, noted that treatment of haemophilia conditions in the country is currently supported by international partners.
Haemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder where blood does not clot properly due to a deficiency in certain clotting factors, which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries, surgeries, or spontaneously.
Kago on Thursday observed that through the support of global partners, including the World Federation of Hemophilia and Novo Nordisk Haemophilia Foundation, his association is supporting treatment for more than 1,000 haemophilia patients in the country. "KHA has built 25 haemophilia treatment centers in the country.
