Popis: Haemophilia is associated with a high tendency of acute bleeding episodes which can lead to severe morbidity and mortality in the absence of prompt care. Although delay in seeking care can lead to adverse outcomes, many people with haemophilia (PwH) in Uganda do not report to haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs) for treatment in the event of acute bleeding within the two hours recommended by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). Information on factors associated with delays in seeking care is limited.
