On 17 April World Haemophilia Day is recognised globally to increase awareness of haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. The theme for World Haemophilia Day 2018 is ‘Sharing Knowledge Makes Us Stronger’. 

Twinning and GAP Programs run by the World Federation of Hemophilia play an important role in sharing knowledge and helping to provide access for all – access to treatment, services and care.

Read the stories from Abi Polus, Jane Portnoy, Wendy Poulson, Sam Duffield and Leonie Demos as they share their experience visiting Haemophilia Treatment Centres and patients in Vietnam, the Philippines and Myanmar.
