Centres for women and girls

Ask NHS which centre can test and treat women and girls near you — not every clinic is used to bleeding beyond paediatric boys.

Why a women-aware centre matters

Some haemophilia clinics historically focused on boys. Women with mild haemophilia, carriers with low factor, and girls with heavy periods need the same assay quality and respect.

Obstetric teams must be linked to the bleeding-disorder centre before delivery — not called in after haemorrhage starts.

Starting the search

Call NHS on 01-5172729 with your district. Ask which hospital currently runs factor assays for women and whether obstetric liaison exists.

Major Kathmandu centres named in NHS materials include TU Teaching Hospital and Kanti Children’s Hospital for family care pathways; confirm current clinic days before travel.

What to ask on first visit

Will you measure my factor level, not only genetic carrier status? Can you coordinate with a gynaecologist? What product is on shelf for menstrual or postpartum bleeding?

If answers are vague, ask NHS for a second referral option rather than giving up.

Chapters and peer support

Other women in the Society network may share how they navigated periods and childbirth in Nepal — privately, without social media exposure.

Membership connects you to that network legally and safely through the office.
