10-13 new cases of haemophilia yearly diagnosed in Armenia
10-13 new cases of haemophilia are yearly diagnosed in Armenia, told Director of Hematology Center Smbat Dagbashyan during the seminar dedicated to the World Day of haemophilia.
He noted, that according to WHO, there are 6.8-18 cases of haemophilia registered for every 100,000 people. In Armenia the rate of haemophilia is 6.15 for 100,000 people. The average life span of haemophilia patients 7 years ago was 28-29 years, now it increased significantly.
