17th April Holidays

You can participate in World Haemophilia Day events by attending local awareness gatherings, sharing educational content on social media, donating to haemophilia organizations, or organizing your own awareness activities to promote understanding and support for individuals with bleeding disorders.

Common misconceptions about haemophilia include thinking it's contagious (it's genetic), that minor injuries cause excessive bleeding (usually only severe cases bleed significantly), and that it only affects males (females can also be carriers or have mild symptoms). Additionally, some believe that people with haemophilia should avoid physical activity entirely, which is not true; they can engage in controlled exercise with medical guidance.

Significant progress has been made in haemophilia treatment, including the development of clotting factor replacement therapies, gene therapy trials showing promise, better diagnostics, and improved access to care. These advancements have led to enhanced quality of life and longer life expectancy for individuals with haemophilia.
