During the discussion, it was noted that in recent years, Uzbekistan has been actively cooperating with several international organizations on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hemophilia, a hereditary blood disorder. Local specialists have been undergoing training and professional development in leading clinics across developed countries.
