B The treatment of hemophilia 1. This care is provided at a comprehensive care clinic. It is called a comprehensive care clinic because it offers a complete range of services.
Home care is the infusion of factor concentrates at home.
In Canada most severe hemophiliacs are treated at home. This has major advantages over treatment at the hemophilia clinic or at the emergency room. The comprehensive care clinic team trains the family with a young hemophiliac how to recognize bleeds and then how to infuse the factor concentrate. Children often learn how to infuse themselves at the age of eight or ten. Then, the hemophiliac is able to treat himself at home, at school, at camp or on vacation.
