At the thematic session “Blood Coagulation Disorders” of the II CIS Orphan Forum, experts from Tajikistan and Belarus presented data on the development of systems for helping patients with coagulopathies.
Republic of Tajikistan
Lola Gulbekovna Esoeva — pediatric hematologist of the National Medical Center of the Republic of Tajikistan "Shifobakhsh", member of the Public Organization "Hemophiles of the Republic of Tajikistan"
Characteristics of the situation:- Population: ~10.5 million people, 93% of the territory is mountains.
- 858 patients with hemostasis disorders are registered, including:
- 707 — with hemophilia A
- 38 — with von Willebrand disease

- 41 — rare forms of bleeding.
- Diagnostics are available only at the Republican Blood Center (Dushanbe), the photometric method is used.
- Home treatment has begun for children under 16 years of age.

- The Hemophilia Society has been operating since 2017, and since 2018 it has been a member of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) and the European Consortium.
- Until 2018, only cryoprecipitate and plasma were used;
- Since 2023: 30% - plasma concentrates, 10% - recombinant preparations, the rest - cryo and fresh frozen plasma.
Republic of Belarus
- Eleonora Vladimirovna Dashkevich — PhD, chief specialist of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus in hemostasis, head of the transfusiology laboratory of the State Institution "Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Transfusiology and Medical Biotechnology"

Hemostasis rooms have been created in Minsk, Gomel and Grodno, they are opening in other regions.
Special emphasis on social adaptation of patients:
- exclusion of hemophilia from the list of contraindications to spa treatment
- development of a document on the assessment of life activity limitations
- employment of patients,
- work with universities, formation of a document on the status of disability during chronic therapy.
- recognition of disability (documented) during chronic therapy
