EXPANSION OF THE WFH HUMANITARIAN AID PROGRAM DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT RESULTS DUE TO THE CONTRIBUTION OF 500 MILLION IUS DONATION OF BIOVERATIV AND SOBI

MONTREAL, April 18 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The paradigm shift that has occurred through the expansion of the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program has resulted in significant improvements in the lives of those living with bleeding disorders in developing countries throughout the world. This is as a direct result of the significant level of donations committed by Bioverativ and Sobi, 500 million international units (IU) of clotting factor concentrates (CFC) treatment products, over 5 years, along with their substantial financial support for the operational needs of this program.

The WFH Humanitarian Aid Program was established in 1996, with more than 462 million IUs of treatment products channelled since it began, to more than 100,000 people in need, in 90 countries. Prior to the expansion of this program, donations were sporadic and existing commitments allowed for only emergency relief in dire situations.
