50th anniversary articles in Haemophilia journal 

To commemorate the WFH’s 50th anniversary, Haemophilia, the official journal of the WFH, is publishing a series of articles relating to the history of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. In some cases they are personal recollections, and in others, the original research article is reprinted with commentary by a leading expert in the field. One article will be published in each volume of Haemophilia throughout 2012 and 2013.
