Honduras reports 371 hemophilia patients, warns of significant underreporting

Honduras has registered 371 hemophilia patients, but health officials estimate the true number could exceed 1,000 due to underreporting of this hereditary disease. The data comes from Dr. Ligia Fúnez, head of the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Department at Hospital Escuela, highlighting gaps in national disease surveillance. This matters as underreporting may hinder resource allocation and treatment access for affected patients.
