Korea Hemophilia Foundation (KHF)
Following the company’s commitment to producing hemophilia treatments, the late founding chairman of GC Biopharma, Huh Young-Sup, founded the KHF in 1974. This initiative was undertaken as part of the company’s mission to serve Korean society, local communities, and fellow Koreans. The foundation provides a wide range of support to streamlining treatments and rehabilitation for persons struggling with hereditary hemophilia.
Background
GC Biopharma, which began producing plasma derivatives in the early 1970s, turned its attention to the production of its hemophilia treatment (an anti-hemophilic factor or AHF) in 1974—the company’s determination to help hemophilia patients culminated in the creation of the KHF two decades later. GC Biopharma consulted with hemophilia organizations in the United States and other developed countries. It also sent a delegation to a hemophilia treatment center in Bonn, Germany, to survey its facilities and management. The company then teamed up with the mothers of hemophilic patients and the Hemophilic Patients Rehabilitation Association to launch the KHF.
Activities
- Medical centersWith the aim of enhancing hemophilic patient access to quality medical care, GC Biopharma transformed its headquarters, then at
Yongdu-dong in Seoul, into Seoul Hospital. Upon request from hemophilic patients elsewhere in Korea, the company opened Gwangju Hospital in 2006 and Busan Hospital in 2007, providing quality care and convenience for hemophilic patients nationwide. - Summer campsGC Biopharma also organizes summer camps for hemophilic patients each year, lasting three days each. Participating patients, given their medical needs, are teamed up with doctors, nurses and physiotherapists. The camps are a great opportunity for patients to meet fellow patients and share their experiences and interests.
- Rehabilitation medicineWith the help of Prof. Yu Myeong-Cheol, an orthopedist, and his team of trainees and researchers at Kyung Hee University’s College of Medicine, GC Biopharma has effectively introduced joint surgery and rehabilitation medicine programs for hemophilic patients. The company continues to provide free tests necessary for these programs, including anti-coagulation factors, human immunodeficiency virus, liver, and general blood tests. The company also provides von Willebrand factor tests to identify vWD patients. The carrier tests the company offers help identify individuals carrying genetic factors and prevent the onset of the disease in them.
- Medical financingGC Biopharma provides financial assistance for the medical costs of hemophilic patients through a variety of programs. In particular, the company introduced the At-Home Care Team in 2005 to identify and support hemophilic patients struggling with poverty and physical disabilities.
