🩸 Hémophilie : au-delà des saignements, une vie active est possible

À Maurice, 104 cas d’hémophilie ont été identifiés. Si la prise en charge a connu d’importantes avancées, des défis subsistent, notamment en matière de prévention, de suivi multidisciplinaire et d’accompagnement psychosocial.

Pour Mohsena Olath Carramtally, Operations Manager de la Haemophilia Association of Mauritius et Vice Chair du Psychosocial Committee de la World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), il est aussi essentiel de déconstruire les idées reçues.

💬 « Une personne hémophile peut étudier, travailler, pratiquer un sport et avoir une vie active. »

Elle nous parle des progrès réalisés à Maurice, des enjeux liés à la prise en charge aux urgences et du projet de centre national de référence pour l’hémophilie.
