Article Synopsis
- India does not have a national policy for preventing and controlling genetic disorders, with limited data on most conditions except for some attention given to haemoglobinopathies.
- Haemophilia, a hereditary disorder affecting 1 in 10,000 births, leads to severe health consequences if untreated, yet comprehensive data on its prevalence, patient trends, and social impact in India are lacking.
- The review highlights that India has the second highest number of haemophilia A patients globally, with about 11,586 reported cases and an estimated 50,000 total, emphasizing the urgent need for a national programme focused on prevention, patient care, surveillance, and family support.
