State to study treatment models from other states
The minister asked officials to study hemophilia treatment policies implemented in Gujarat, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, and Karnataka to strengthen Maharashtra’s healthcare framework.
He further directed the Health Department to submit a proposal under the National Health Mission’s Annual Programme Implementation Plan seeking special funds for hemophilia treatment.
According to the Health Department, hemophilia cases in the state have been classified into mild, moderate, and severe categories. Since patients in moderate and severe categories require immediate medical attention and continuous monitoring, district-level day-care centres have been established across the state.
