Haemophilia in Australia^[*]

Summary

The major problems currently facing haemophilia management in Australia relate to (1) a need for better co-ordination of our entire national effort for haemophilia therapy and (2) a need to improve the efficiency of our preparation of factor VII concentrates. If we could simply double or treble our factor VIII yields from the same volume of donor plasma many of our urgent treatment problems could be solved.
