Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings: 1)Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder in which one of the proteins that causes blood to clot is missing, or there is not enough of the protein to work properly, causing people to bleed longer. 2)Without effective blood clotting, cuts and internal injuries have difficulty healing and internal bleeding into the joints can result in pain and permanent damage. ACR 156 Page 2 3)Hemophilia is a lifetime condition that is primarily treated with infusions of a protein involved in blood clotting. 4)It is estimated that over 400,000 people worldwide are living with hemophilia and of those people, 20,000 are living in the United States. 5)Hemophilia effects all populations and the people living with hemophilia and those caring for and serving them are strongly united in advocating for access to treatment and care.
