Every year on April 17, there is a celebration honouring haemophilia.
The International Federation of Hemophilia was founded by Frank Schnabel.
This day is celebrated to increase public understanding of haemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
World Haemophilia Day was started by the World Federation of Haemophilia in 1989 and on 17 April, was chosen to celebrate it in honour of the founder of the World Federation of Haemophilia Frank Schnabel's birthday.
The theme of World Haemophilia Day 2021 was “Adapting to change: sustaining care in a new world".
The theme of the event this year is “Access for All: Prevention of bleeds as the global standard of care”.
Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood illness where the patient has extensive bleeding following an accident or surgery because their blood cannot clot.
Males are more likely to have the illness. Blood clotting factors and platelets often form a clot around a wound to halt bleeding when a person sustains an injury or a cut.
Factor VIII or factor IX are the two primary clotting factors that are absent in hemophilic individuals.
