World Hemophilia Day 2024 Theme Revealed
On April 17, 2024, the global bleeding disorders community will come together to celebrate World Hemophilia Day. The theme of the event this year is “Equitable access for all: recognizing all bleeding disorders”. The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) vision of Treatment for All is for a world where all people with inherited bleeding disorders have access to care, regardless of their type of bleeding disorder, gender, age, or where they live.

This April, let’s celebrate our community and continue working towards a world where everyone—with hemophilia A or B, von Willebrand disease (VWD) or any other bleeding disorder—has access to diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive care.
At one time, when one said, ‘bleeding disorder’, people heard ‘male with hemophilia’. In the last few years, the world has started seeing that a bleeding disorder means much more. It’s hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand disease (VWD), and other conditions. It’s men, boys, women and girls. It’s the parents and the friends who support the person with a bleeding disorder. In short, ‘bleeding disorder’ means community—a community that deserves recognition, and one that needs our support. Please join us on April 17 to show the world that you care about equitable access for all.
