Every year on 17 April World Haemophilia Day is recognised worldwide to increase awareness of haemophilia, von Willebrand disease and other inherited bleeding disorders. This is a critical effort since with increased awareness comes better diagnosis and access to care for the millions who remain without treatment.

• Haemophilia occurs in 1 in 6,000-10,000 males internationally.
• Currently in Australia there are more than 2,900 people diagnosed with varied degrees of severity.
• Specialised treatment is needed to help blood clot normally. With appropriate treatment haemophilia can be managed effectively.

Get involved this April by:

• Spreading awareness
• Educating family and friends
• Making a donation
