In honor of World Hemophilia Day, this episode of the ISTH’s Pulse Podcast explores the overlooked history of women and hemophilia. Join experts Paula James and Megan Chaigneau as they reveal how women moved from being labeled as “silent carriers” of hemophilia to being recognized as patients in their own right. Despite scientific progress, many still face delayed diagnoses and barriers to care. Join us as we uncover the past, highlight the present, and discuss what’s needed for a more equitable future in bleeding disorder care.
