Important Days

World Hemophilia Day is annually observed on 17 April to raise awareness around haemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. The foundation of the day was laid in 1989 by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). April 17 was decided as the date to observe the health day every year to honour the founder of the organisation Frank Schnabel, who played a significant role in advocating for hemophilia awareness and treatment and dedicated his life towards improving lives of those suffering from the disorder. The theme for World Hemophilia Day 2024 is 'Equitable access for all: recognizing all bleeding disorders'.
