World Haemophilia Day 2021

World Haemophilia Day in 2021 was a great success.  This year’s theme Adapting to Change highlighted that living during a pandemic can pose many challenges, not only for our health, but also for our mental health and wellbeing.
 
The World Federation of Hemophilia interactive World Hemophilia Day website gave people a space to share how bleeding disorders have affected people and their loved ones.  It was great to read motivational and inspiring comments on the website –
