Why do many cases of haemophilia in India go undiagnosed? Doctor explains

Even as diagnostic technology advances and public health awareness grows, haemophilia, a genetic bleeding disorder, remains underdiagnosed in India, with only an estimated 15-20% of cases officially diagnosed. Haemophilia is typically caused by abnormalities in genes that encode clotting factors, which are proteins required for blood coagulation. It appears as prolonged or spontaneous bleeding episodes. The chronic nature of the disorder takes its silent toll on individuals and families, greatly impacting the quality of life of patients and families.
