Factor First Card
The Factor First Card, was developed by the Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS) and Association of Hemophilia Clinic Directors of Canada (AHCDC) for those individuals who require factor therapy at the time of an emergency - it carries the information that medical staff will need to help you or your child manage the situation quickly and effectively. It also allows them to access further information about you or your child, or about your bleeding disorder.
Whether you have mild or severe hemophilia, the AHCDC (Association of Hemophilia Clinic Directors of Canada) recommends carrying documentation that identifies your bleeding disorder and indicates the appropriate emergency therapy.
Remember: For individuals with hemophilia, it's important to carry a medical information card. To learn more on what information is needed in the card, visit the Canadian Hemophilia Society website.
The
Factor First Card is available in PDF format.
