Epidemiology & social costs of haemophilia in India.

Indian J Med Res

Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences, University of Pune, Pune, India.

Published: July 2014

AI 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.

Article Abstract

India lacks a national policy on the prevention and control of genetic disorders. Although the haemoglobinopathies have received some attention, there are scarce data on the epidemiology of other genetic disorders in India. Haemophilia, an inherited single gene disorder with an incidence of 1 per 10,000 births, manifests as spontaneous or trauma-induced haemorrhagic episodes in patients, progressing to chronic disability and premature mortality in untreated patients or patients with sub-optimal treatment. Although the genetic basis of this disorder has been well studied in India, data on the number of patients, trends of the disorder in India, social costs of the condition and opportunities and competencies for offering genetic counselling through a public health programme have not been reported. This review article summarizes the available Indian data, which show that the country harbours the second highest number of global patients with haemophilia A. The reported number of patients with haemophilia A is 11,586 while the estimated prevalence could be around 50,000 patients. This review also identifies the need to immediately initiate a national programme for haemophilia, with components of prevention, care for patients, surveillance and education and support for families.
