Haemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factors VIII or IX, primarily affecting males. Yet, 75% of people with bleeding disorders remain undiagnosed globally, delaying life-saving care.

On this 31st World Hemophilia Day, letโ€™s raise awareness, encourage timely diagnosis, and support better access to treatment and prevention for all affected.

Together, we can help save lives and improve care!
