Abstract [English]

Haemophilia is a sex a linked heredity bleeding disorder that predominantly affects male population and while women are carriers of the affected gene. Approximately 4 lac people worldwide are affected with this disorder. The response to this disease involves a range of treatment interventions involving proper treatment protocol, physiotherapy and comprehensive rehabilitation programmes. however, budgetary constraints, geographical and socio-cultural factors overburden the process of delivering adequate treatment for hemophilia patients in different countries the socio-economic inequalities among the countries have been found to greatly influence the treatment, management and care of heamophilia patients. Thus, post industrialized nations have enough accessibility to various treatment resources, while as the emergent countries like India have excelled in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs. The authors are of the view that for optimal heamophilia treatment care and management, a comprehensive strategy involving multiple interventions is required. This paper aims to suggest a brief description of strategies required to achieve an optimal heamophilia care in India.
