UK or Canada for an international student with severe hemophilia?
Hi everyone,
I’m from Nepal and have severe hemophilia. I’m currently in the 7th semester of my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, and I plan to apply for a master’s program.
My biggest concern is access to hemophilia treatment while studying abroad. I’m currently considering the UK and Canada.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with this, especially international students with hemophilia.
I have a few questions:
Is clotting factor treatment covered by the NHS or health insurance for international students in the UK?
Is clotting factor treatment covered by provincial healthcare or health insurance for international students in Canada?
If not, are there any private insurance plans that cover hemophilia treatment?
Has anyone with severe hemophilia successfully studied in the UK or Canada? If so, how did you manage your treatment?
Thank you very much for any advice or guidance!
