World Haemophilia Day 2023

Every year on 17 April World Haemophilia Day the bleeding disorders community worldwide comes together to increase awareness of haemophilia, von Willebrand disease and other inherited bleeding disorders. 

Joining other countries such as Austria, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, England, Ireland, Japan, Panama, Spain, Taiwan and US, building and landmarks were lit up in red across Australia in support of the day. We had over 60 landmarks across the country lit up red.  

The World Federation of Hemophilia, with the support of volunteers from around the world, does remarkable work to improve access to diagnosis, treatment, care, and support for people with bleeding disorders.

Did you know?

WFH estimates that over 65% of people living with haemophilia worldwide have not yet been identified and diagnosed.
