Haemophilia is a life-long bleeding disorder of the blood clotting mechanism. It is the deficiency of a particular clotting protein or “factor” resulting in the excessive bleeding from injury or without obvious reason at all. Excessive bleeding mostly occurs inside the body, seen as bruising or inflammation in the joints and muscles, and outside the body such as excessive bleeding from deep cuts and skin infections.
