In 2025, the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) will host the WFH 2025 Comprehensive Care Summit: New Developments in Bleeding Disorders and MSK, or musculoskeletal disorders. The global event will take place in person from April 23 to 25 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre. The 2025 summit builds on the success of the first Comprehensive Care Summit, held in 2023 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The summit will bring together medical and musculoskeletal (MSK) professionals, bleeding disorders patients, and community advocates to discuss the latest medical research and assess current issues in managing bleeding disorders. Over three days, participants will enjoy more than 40 hours of continuing educational sessions across three tracks: musculoskeletal, medical, and people with bleeding disorders (PWBD).
Speakers from around the world will cover a variety of topics, including advances in arthropathies, therapeutic and technological advancements in hemophilia, and women and bleeding disorders. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in interactive sessions, panel discussions, and innovative industry symposia.
The medical track will feature cutting-edge research and the latest developments in the treatment of hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. PWBD sessions will provide educational content from a multidisciplinary perspective, including the psychosocial specialist, dentist, nurse, physician, physiotherapist, community member, and patient points of view. Musculoskeletal tracks will be devoted to the latest musculoskeletal trends and emerging techniques and will appeal to MSK specialists, health care professionals, PWBDs, and their families.
Researchers from around the world will have the opportunity to submit abstracts covering solutions and interventions related to the summit tracks. Allied health professionals in an academic or community setting, community organization members, health care providers, and students who are doing new and innovative research will all have a chance to showcase their work to a global audience of experts.
Dubai’s commitment to innovation and excellence is the perfect fit for the summit. The city is an ideal location for the summit because of its geographic position as a global hub connecting the world, making it easily accessible for international attendees. Dubai boasts world-class infrastructure and a wide range of accommodations. The city offers visitors a rich cultural experience and a wide range of leisure activities, ensuring that attendees can enjoy a balanced mix of professional development and personal relaxation.
“The WFH 2025 Comprehensive Care Summit: New Developments in Bleeding Disorders and MSK will highlight the importance of different aspects of care in the comprehensive care framework, and the importance of exploring innovative approaches to care,” says Cesar Garrido, president of WFH. “Our field is changing every day, and I encourage you to attend and be part of the conversation.”
