Hemophilia Hospital in the Netherlands

Hemofilie Klinick, Huizen, Netherlands

Dr. S. van Creveld was born in Amsterdam on August 21, 1894. He studied medicine at the University of Amsterdam from 1912 to 1918, and took his doctor's degree in Groningen in 1922. He was Head of the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Amsterdam from 1938 till 1964 (with an interruption during the war years). He was the first to give a clinical description of glycogen disease (1927), and with W. M. Bendien demonstrated in 1936 that in hemophilic plasma there is a deficiency of a normal clotting-promoting constituent. In 1950 he took the initiative for the foundation of a large clinic for convalescent children in the country. By 1964 this had developed into the large Hemophilia Clinic and Hospital described in this article.
