Abstract
About 75% of persons with hemophilia live in the developing world and do not have access to routine care due to many barriers. There are a lot of challenges associated with hemophilia care in resource-limited settings, ranging from financial to organisational and government commitments. This review discusses some of these challenges and future prospects, while highlighting the important role of the World Federation of Hemophilia in hemophilia patient care. A participative approach involving all stakeholders is key to optimizing care in resource-limited settings.
