17 April: World Hemophilia Day

World Hemophilia Day is observed on April 17 to raise awareness and understanding about hemophilia and other bleeding disorders.

The theme for 2022 World Hemophilia Day was “Access for All: Partnership. Policy. Progress. Engaging your government, integrating inherited bleeding disorders into national policy”.
Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood of the patient does not clot properly due to lack of blood-clotting proteins.
