China has made significant efforts in promoting the standardized diagnosis and treatment for hemophilia patients with over 200 special centers for this disease built over the past few years.
As of September 2022, a total of 235 such centers with unified standards for testing, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation have been set up in China, with about 44,830 patients registered.
