The WFH will continue to play a role in educating patients, clinicians and governments on tenders, product selection and purchasing decisions.

The arrival of longer-lasting therapies and gene transfer will further add to the complexity of the development model. Longer lasting products will require the WFH Development Model to be retooled particularly as it relates to selection and acquisition of LY2835219 molecular weight products (tenders), building laboratory capacity, data collection, modification of national treatment protocols, as well as patient and clinician education. The cornerstone initiative – 2013–2022.  The Cornerstone Initiative (Cornerstone) is specifically aimed at supporting treatment and care for those countries which have heretofore been underserved by WFH development programs and where the gap in care is the greatest. Many countries in underserved and impoverished regions have not been able to fully take advantage of the WFH Development Model due to their less developed infrastructure. Through training the WFH will work to lay the

cornerstone to provide a solid foundation upon which future building and development may occur. WFH support to improve care will not be limited by geography, economic wealth of a nation, or the existing healthcare infrastructure. However we recognize achieving Treatment for All is in fact limited by these very variables. Today, only 9% of the total number of patients identified with a bleeding disorder worldwide Rapamycin mw are from countries with a GNI per capita of <$1 500 USD selleckchem [7]. This group of countries represents one third of the world’s population. While the WFH has a range of development programs applicable to all countries, Cornerstone specifically targets those countries and regions of the world where even diagnosis may be considered futile

given the complete lack of accessibility to care. The WFH will work with targeted Cornerstone countries over two to four years to improve very basic aspects of care development, scaled to their skills and resource capacity:  Developing or improving diagnosis capacity With the addition of Cornerstone, WFH will now have a continuum of development programs that may be deployed and targeted to address the unique needs of countries, regardless of economic capacity (Fig. 2). Over 50 years, we have witnessed treatment progress from fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate to advanced plasma-derived and recombinant CFCs. Today, we are on the cusp of another revolution in treatment, potentially as big as that brought on by the discovery of cryoprecipitate in the early 1960s. Over the next few years, we will see treatment product advances on all fronts.
