WFH 2016 World Congress

The World Federation of Hemophilia 2016 World Congress was held in Orlando, Florida, USA from 24 to 28 July 2016.

The WFH World Congress is the largest international meeting for the global bleeding disorders community. Health professionals, researchers, scientists, government and industry representatives come together with national haemophilia organisation leaders, and other people with bleeding disorders and their families to discuss and learn about the latest issues in bleeding disorders. Presentations, workshops, symposia, and exhibits feature cutting-edge trends in research and treatment and care for bleeding disorders, as well as the experience of the person with a bleeding disorder. In addition, the Congress provides many opportunities to network, share experiences and make new friends during the social events.

In this special Congress feature, Gavin Finkelstein, HFA President, and some of the Australian haemophilia health professionals and researchers who attended give a snapshot of some of the key sessions in their interest areas.
