Empowering Future Physiotherapists 💙

We were delighted to host DPT students of 6th semester from Iqra university for a 2-week clinical rotation at the Hemophilia Welfare Society Karachi (HWSK). During their time with us, students gained valuable knowledge about bleeding disorders, along with hands-on experience in physiotherapy assessments and rehabilitation.

This rotation provided a meaningful opportunity to bridge the gap between theory and clinical practice, while deepening their understanding of patient care and the unique challenges faced by individuals with hemophilia

At the end of the program, certificates were distributed in recognition of their participation and clinical learning. We truly appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication, and wish them all the very best for their future endeavors! 🌟

Repeated untreated bleeding can permanently damage joints and even become life-threatening.

🧬 Early diagnosis allows patients to start treatment before complications develop.

The earlier the diagnosis — the better the future.

Diagnosis is the First Step to Care.

24/04/2026

Diagnosis is more than a single test — it is a complete medical evaluation.

Doctors assess bleeding history, perform specialized laboratory testing, and confirm results through hematology expertise.

🧬 Early and accurate diagnosis allows patients to receive the right treatment at the right time.

Diagnosis = First Step to Care

World Hemophilia Day Celebration at Hemophilia Ward at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital Trauma Centre A project of Hemophilia Welfare Society Karachi Pakistan

Hemophilia Welfare Society Karachi (HWSK) commemorated World Hemophilia Day at the Trauma Centre of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, within the Hemophilia Ward, alongside patients and the dedicated HWSK medical team.

On this occasion, Mr. Raheel Ahmed Khan addressed the patients and highlighted an often-overlooked concern—the silent suffering of women, particularly mothers, sisters, and wives, who may be affected by bleeding disorders but are unable to disclose their condition due to prevailing social stigma.

He emphasized HWSK’s commitment to supporting these women by ensuring access to appropriate care while maintaining their dignity and confidentiality. The organization aims to take responsibility for their well-being by facilitating carrier identification through necessary diagnostic testing and providing medications and supplements as prescribed by healthcare professionals, based on individual needs.

Mr. Raheel Ahmed Khan also extended his sincere appreciation to the medical team for their unwavering dedication and continued support in improving the quality of care for patients with bleeding disorders
