General Assembly Election Results
The WFH held its General Assembly on June 6, immediately following the Hemophilia 2008 World Congress. At the meeting, Mark Skinner was re-elected as WFH president for a second four-year term, as was Rob Christie, who was re-elected as vice-president finance. Dr. Alison Street, an Australian hematologist who has served on the WFH Executive Committee since 2002, replaces Dr. Paul Giangrande as vice-president medical.
The Assembly also voted to accept national patient organizations from Syria, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, and Kyrgystan as new member organizations of the WFH. This brings the total number of national member organizations to 113.
Paris, France, was selected as the site for the 2012 World Congress.
WFH Congress breaks records
The WFH World Congress held in Istanbul, Turkey, in June was a great success, attracting more than 4200 participants from over 115 countries. This makes it the largest WFH Congress ever.
The WFH will be posting more congress information on our website over the next few weeks, including summaries of selected sessions, so check regularly.
