Total Hip Replacement in Severe Haemophilia A: Challenges and Feasibility.

The management of haemophilic patients is complicated due to multiple comorbidities. A dedicated haemophilia treatment centre with a multidisciplinary team can plan and execute elective orthopaedic surgery in such haemophilic individuals. A cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed in a 26-year-old male patient with haemophilic arthropathy of the right hip under factor VIII replacement therapy based on activated partial thromboplastin time levels.

Making the Best Use of Resources in Global Cancer Care.

Inequitable access to high-quality cancer control and care remains one of the greatest public health challenges in countries at all resource levels. Core issues include the limited oncology health care workforce and equitable access to affordable (essential) cancer diagnostics, medicines, surgery, systemic therapies, and radiotherapy, compounded by existing social inequalities. To reduce cancer health disparities globally and subnationally, countries can enhance their capabilities to deliver high-quality, affordable care closer to where most people live.
