Take Part in World Hemophilia Day

April 17 is World Hemophilia Day and a chance for you to join others around the world to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. This year’s theme for World Hemophilia Day is “Access for All: Prevention of Bleeds as the Global Standard of Care.” It’s a call for us all to come together and advocate with local policy makers and governments for improved access to treatment and care with an emphasis on better control and prevention of bleeds for all people with bleeding disorders. This means the implementation of home-based treatments as well as prophylactic treatment to help those individuals have a better quality of life.

 

By raising awareness and bringing hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders to the attention of policymakers, we can increase access to care and treatment. Everyone can play a part—from patients, family members, and caregivers, to corporate partners, Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) volunteers, and those who support their national member organization.

Get involved by making a donation, telling your story, sharing your challenges, and celebrating your successes! There are several ways you can help spread awareness:  

• Share your picture or make a video and post it on social media. Use #WHD2023 and tag us so we can share your post. 
• Like and share other bleeding disorder posts and stories. 
• Donate and raise money for events supporting the bleeding disorder community.  

World Hemophilia Day is a great opportunity to stand with other advocates and show your support for the inherited bleeding disorder community. Let’s show the world what we are made of on April 17!
