Honoring Visionary Leadership in Hemophilia Care: A Tribute to Drs. Cesar Garrido and Assad Haffar
Heghine Khachatryan, Head of Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, recently shared a praising post on LinkedIn:
”This entire initiative was made possible through the leadership of Dr. Assad Haffar, our deeply respected and beloved mentor. His unwavering commitment to advancing clinical quality, medical education, equitable access to diagnosis and care, and global humanitarian support continues to inspire all of us.
Dr. Haffar’s visionary guidance and tireless dedication have shaped not only national strategies but also individual professional growth, bringing together physicians and treatment centers across regions in a shared mission to improve the lives of people with bleeding disorders.
We were especially honored by the presence of WFH President Cesar Garrido, whose leadership, compassion, and advocacy empower national teams and patient communities worldwide. His engagement in these discussions reaffirmed the importance of solidarity, inclusiveness, and sustained investment in care.
We are truly grateful for his mentorship and trust.”
