World Haemophilia Day
World Haemophilia Day 2012
An estimated 1 in 1,000 women and men has a bleeding disorder. However, 75% still receive very inadequate treatment or no treatment at all. What will it take to close the gap?
On World Haemophilia Day 2012 help us “Close the Gap” of care around the world. Together, we can work towards a day when treatment will be available for all globally.
On World Haemophilia Day we want to inspire people to help close the gap and to improve accessibility and quality of care so that Treatment for All becomes a reality.
Every year on April 17, World Haemophilia Day is celebrated around the world in order to increase awareness of haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders.
World Haemophilia Day was started in 1989 and the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) chose April 17 in honor of WFH founder Frank Schnabel, who was born on that day.
On April 17, help us spread the message to “Close the Gap” of care around the world. Together, we can work towards a day when treatment will be available for all globally. Join the international bleeding disorders community on April 17 to mark World Haemophilia Day.
