World Hemophilia Day 2012
Close the Gap
An estimated 1 in 1000 women and men has a bleeding disorder. However, 75% still receive very inadequate treatment or no treatment at all. What will it take to close this gap? What will it take to close the gap?
On World Hemophilia Day 2012 help us spread the message to “Close the Gap” of care around the world. Together, we can work towards a day when treatment will be available for all globally.
The reality is that most people with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders do not receive adequate diagnosis, treatment, and management for their conditions. This is important whether good treatment is already established but needs to be protected or where treatment needs to be improved.
The WFH would like to hear how you and your organization or treatment centre marked World Hemophilia Day. Please send an update, along with a few high resolution photos to sford@wfh.org by May 18.
Join the international bleeding disorders community on April 17 to mark World Hemophilia Day. Together, we will Close the Gap.
