The EAHAD Women and Bleeding Disorders Working Group was formed in September 2018 with a mandate of two years. Its three aims are to:
1) gather, concentrate and disseminate knowledge among European healthcare providers on the diagnosis and treatment of women-specific bleeding symptoms in inherited bleeding disorders;
2) define research priorities within the European medical society regarding women with inherited bleeding disorders;
3) diminish misdiagnosis and under treatment of women with bleeding disorders in Europe.
