World Hemophilia Day 2020

Get+involved virtually and stay safe

April 17, 2020 is World Hemophilia Day. It's a very important day for the World Federation of Hemophila (WFH) and the bleeding disorders community—but nothing is more important to us than your health and wellbeing. The WFH wants to ensure that everyone celebrates the big day in a way that is sensitive to the risks of the current global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Below are some recommendations on how you can “Get+involved” on April 17 in a way that is safe for you, your family, and your community. We’re in this together, so here’s how we can celebrate together in the name of “Treatment for All”.

Celebrate with the community virtually!

Celebrating with friends and family has always been a big part of World Hemophilia Day, but this year, stay home and use your internet-connected device to Get+involved:

If you have any questions about the best way to stay safe on World Hemophilia Day, feel free to contact Erika Laincy, WFH Marketing & Communications Manager, at [email protected] .

This landmark day also helps to illustrate the importance the WFH has developed to support the bleeding disorders community. The WFH Humanitarian Aid Program provides a range of integrated care development training programs to ensure the local infrastructure and medical expertise are available to optimize and appropriately use donated products. The Global Alliance for Progress (GAP) Program was developed to greatly increase the diagnosis and treatment of people with bleeding disorders by closing the gap in treatment of people with bleeding disorders by closing the gap in treatment between developed and developing countries.

Stay tuned as we take together the first step to care!
