The unified clinical protocol of primary and specialized medical care "Hemophilia B" (order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 12 February 2026 No. 170) has been entered into the Register of Medical Technological Documents of the Center https://www.dec.gov.ua/mtd/gemofiliya/
The document was developed on the basis of modern principles of evidence-based medicine, focusing on international treatment standards and recommendations of leading professional communities. Methodological and informational support for the development was provided by specialists of the State Expert Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
The provisions of the Protocol are aimed at
- clear routing of patients – from early diagnosis (including prenatal counseling) to long-term follow-up;
- emphasis on early and lifelong prophylactic replacement therapy, which is the standard of treatment for severe forms;
- an individualized approach to treatment taking into account the severity of the disease and the phenotype of bleeding;
- comprehensive management of the patient by a multidisciplinary team;
- prevention and treatment of inhibitors, musculoskeletal complications and concomitant diseases;
- support for the possibility of home treatment and education of patients and their families.
Why this is important for healthcare professionals
The protocol unifies approaches to diagnosis and treatment in accordance with international standards, defines algorithms for preventive therapy and management of complications, and contributes to improving the quality of medical care and interdisciplinary interaction.
Why this is important for patients
Hemophilia B is a rare hereditary disease caused by a deficiency of clotting factor IX (FIX). It manifests as spontaneous or prolonged bleeding, most often into joints and muscles, which can lead to arthropathy and disability.
Early diagnosis and regular prophylactic replacement therapy:
- reduce the risk of dangerous bleeding;
- prevent joint damage;
- reduce pain and disability;
- allow children to study and adults to work and lead an active life.
The protocol is aimed specifically at ensuring such systematic, long-term and modern care.
