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.
Specialised treatment is needed to help blood clot normally. With appropriate treatment haemophilia can be managed effectively.

The theme this year is “Access for All: Partnership. Policy. Progress. Engaging your government, integrating inherited bleeding disorders into national policy”. By raising awareness and bringing hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders to the attention of policymakers, sustainable and equitable access to care and treatment can be increased.

Get involved this April by:

• Spreading awareness on social media
• Educating family and friends
• Making a donation to global advocacy efforts
