Subsidies
Most individuals with haemophilia struggle to afford factor 8/9, the drug required to stop bleeding when injury occurs. Those with severe haemophilia may need to take this drug regularly because a bruise can occur even with a minor bump.
A bottle of factor 8 costs above $100 on average. A bruise on the ankle joint can easily expend 6 bottles of factor 8. Therefore, the Society conducts fundraising activities to provide its own subsidies, in addition to existing government subsidies. When you are a member of the Society, you are entitled to subsidies from the Society for your factor 8/9.
HSS subsidy cap per month:
Age | Factor 8 | Factor 9 |
Adult ( > 12 years old) | SGD 800 | SGD 1200 |
Children ( ≤ 12 years old) | SGD 400 | SGD 600 |
