PCSO extends help to Filipino hemophiliacs

Eldie Llamas was only a 19-year-old mother in 1998 when she first encountered for herself the biggest challenge of her life, a rare inheritable condition that afflicted her father and an uncle.

Doctors diagnosed her son Christian, then only six months old, to be one of about 1,500 Filipinos afflicted with hemophilia, an incurable blood condition that requires meticulous care and lifelong medical attention.
