KHF Clinics
KHF managed 3 Clinics for treatment,
rehabilitation and improving QOL of
hemophilia patients.
In 1990, there were only three designated hospitals for hemophilia in Korea.
Hemophilia patients had considerable trouble getting the
treatment that they needed.
KHF and KHF Clinic were established at the same time so that
hemophilia patients could have access to specialized treatment
more easily (February 11, 1991). After that time, Gwangju Clinic
was opened in 2006, and Busan Clinic was opened in 2007.
