In conversation with, Dr Ngoakoana Mahlachana
She is a qualified Pediatrician interested in haemophilia and other congenital bleeding disorders. She currently runs the haemophilia clinic at Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital.
Haemophilia is a rare genetic disease that results from mutations in the genes that code for proteins necessary for normal blood clotting factor VIII (haemophilia A) and factor IX (haemophilia B). About 30% of haemophilia cases occur sporadically at birth, and a few cases occur later in life (acquired haemophilia), with Hemophilia A being four times more frequent than Hemophilia B
