The Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre offers a hemophilia and hereditary bleeding disorders program that serves as the primary hemophilia treatment centre for all patients with bleeding disorders in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
What we do
The hemophilia and hereditary bleeding disorders program is based at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s, and pediatric patients are followed through the Janeway Children’s Health and Rehabilitation Centre.
Bleeding disorders include:

- Von Willebrand Disease;
- Platelet deficiencies; and
- Rare disorders (e.g., Glanzmann Thrombasthenia; Bernard Soulier Syndrome; Hereditary Angioedema).
These disorders range from mild to severe. Many are rare, and most are genetically linked through families.
