🌎 About World Hemophilia Day

World Hemophilia Day is a global effort to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. These conditions, caused by deficiencies in clotting factors, can lead to excessive bleeding even from minor injuries — and if left untreated, they can be life-threatening.

The 2025 theme, “Access For All: Women and Girls Bleed Too”, underscores an often-overlooked reality:
While hemophilia is typically associated with males, women and girls with bleeding disorders face significant challenges, often going undiagnosed, misunderstood, or untreated.
