On World Hemophilia Day, Baxter is Proud to be Part of the Worldwide Hemophilia Family of Support
Deerfield, Ill. -
Today, Baxter International joins the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and its partners in the global hemophilia community to recognize World Hemophilia Day, an annual observation intended to help raise awareness of hemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
This year, the WFH is educating the global community about the importance of building a "family of support" for people living with bleeding disorders around the world. The organization is providing resources and information to raise a dialogue about the extensive care, support and advocacy that is provided by extended family and friends, caregivers and loved ones.
"Baxter BioScience continues to play a leading role in advancing the quality and availability of care for bleeding disorders worldwide, and we have designed our patient support programs to consider the specific needs and contributions of caregivers, families and friends," said Brian Goff, leader of Baxter's global hemophilia organization. "As we celebrate our collective progress on World Hemophilia Day, we recognize the need for continued education and awareness as we continue our pursuit of a Bleed Free World."
In recent years, Baxter has showcased progress in advancing care for the hemophilia community through a number of newly approved therapies and new indications of existing treatments. We continue to build our pipeline, with a focus on introducing new options that meet individual patient needs across a range of blood disorders.
