Treatment program established.
There is hereby established the Hemophilia Treatment Program in Alabama, to be administered by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Crippled Children Service of the State Department of Education. Such treatment program shall use the existing facilities and staff of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Crippled Children Service, as required, for the care and treatment of persons suffering from hemophilia. The Hemophilia Treatment Program shall assist those persons who require continuing treatment with blood, blood derivatives or a manufactured pharmaceutical product to avoid crippling, hospitalization or other effects associated with hemophilia, but who are unable to pay for the entire cost of such services on a continuing basis, despite the existence of various types of hospital and medical insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, other government assistance programs and private charitable assistance.
