MONTREAL, May 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On May 22, 2026, the 79th World Health Assembly
unanimously adopted a resolution on Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People
with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders. This is a historic development for
our community and will help increase diagnosis rates and improve treatment and care
for people with inherited bleeding disorders around the world.

A World Health Assembly Resolution is an official policy document adopted by the
World Health Organization (WHO) Member States to set global health priorities and
policies, guide national health strategies and request specific actions from the
Member States and the WHO Secretariat.

By adopting the WHA resolution on Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People
with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders, the WHO and its Member States have
elevated bleeding disorders on the global health agenda and have recognized the 
need for strengthened global coordination and sustained policy action to address
the health inequities affecting our community.

The WFH commends Armenia (the proponent country) for their exceptional leadership
of this important initiative and is grateful to all co-sponsoring Member States:
Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Latvia, Malta, Morocco, Nepal,
Paraguay, the Russian Federation, Spain, Slovenia, Sri Lanka and Togo.

**About hemophilia and other bleeding disorders**

In people with bleeding disorders, the blood clotting process doesn’t work properly,
with the result that they can bleed for longer than normal, and some people may 
experience spontaneous bleeding into joints, muscles, or other parts of their bodies
which can lead to serious health complications.

**About the World Federation of Hemophilia**
