In late 1980s, getting access to proper diagnosis and available treatment (Fresh frozen plasma, FFP) to the scattered scarce known PWHs was a huge challenge. As a need to accurate laboratory diagnosis, access to safe treatment products and act in unison to be heard, the Nepal Hemophilia Society was conceived in 1992 AD with the effort of PWHs, their families and treating Doctors of that time.
Since its inception, it has been rigorously working for the treatment and management of PWHs with an intention to help them sustain a normal life in a society. Its effectiveness is dependent upon the goodwill of many volunteers which includes PWHs, health professionals, social workers and representatives from disable organizations and government who may contribute their skills, knowledge and time to achieve common goals.
