Heghine Khachatryan: Behind These Photos Are Not Just Official Meetings…
Heghine Khachatryan, Editor-in-Chief of Hemostasis Today, Head of Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center at Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, reposted from WFH on LinkedIn:
”Behind these photos are not just official meetings, but people who have worked for months and years with one shared goal: to change the lives of people living with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders.
These people have:
- read every word,
- debated every formulation,
- defended every patient’s voice,
- and refused to give up when the path became difficult.
Today, as the WHO Executive Board has supported the advancement of this resolution, it is important that our patients see and feel that:
– real people are fighting for them,
– from different countries and cultures,
– united by the same values — justice, equitable access, and life-saving treatment.
I am deeply grateful to all my colleagues and friends
who believed in this journey,
shared the responsibility,
and stood by our patients until the very end.
This is not just a political document.
This is a human fight — for human lives.
And we will continue.”
Quoting World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH)‘s post:
”Breaking News from WHO Executive Board Session in Geneva!
Today the World Health Organization Executive Board EB158 approved the decision to recommend adoption of the resolution on Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders at the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2026!
This decision marks a vital step forward toward the final adoption of this resolution in May, leading to greater health equity for people with Bleeding Disorders.
The World Federation of Hemophilia would like to especially acknowledge the unwavering leadership of the Republic of Armenia, and all co-sponsoring Member States including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Latvia, Malta, Morocco, Nepal, Paraguay, Spain, Sri Lanka and Togo, and to over 80 patient and medical associations who have joined the WFH’s Global Call for Health Equity for Bleeding Disorders in support of this resolution!
Stay tuned for more updates from the WFH in coming days and weeks on the next steps towards final adoption of the resolution at the 79th World Health Assembly in May 2026.”
