WHO Essential Medicines List 2025 Update: Impact on Bleeding Disorders Community

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The World Federation of Hemophilia invited representatives from its national member organizations, national governments, healthcare providers, industry partners, and other patient advocacy and scientific organizations from the global bleeding disorders community to an informational webinar on the recent milestone revisions to the World Health Organization (WHO) Essential Medicines List (EML). The objectives of this webinar were to provide information on these critical changes to WHO EML brining it more up-to-date with the international clinical guidelines for hemophilia and von Willebrand Disease, the advocacy carried out by the WFH in collaboration with key partners and stakeholders from the bleeding disorders community, and what does this mean in practice for our community. During the webinar participants heard from WFH President, Cesar Garrido, WFH Vice President Medical, Glenn Pierce, MD, PhD and Brian O’Mahony, Chief Executive, Irish Haemophilia Society, followed by a Q&A session.

Date recorded: October 17th, 2025.
