Ramblings of the Mad Cow

April 17 is World Hemophilia Day. This day is celebrated by hemophilia organizations around the world, and gives them an opportunity to increase awareness of hemophilia.

World Hemophilia Day was started in 1989. The World Federation of Hemophilia chose April 17 in honour of WFH founder Frank Schnabel, who was born on that day.

Every year, countries around the world join the WFH in celebrating World Hemophilia Day on April 17. The common goal for this day is to increase awareness of hemophilia and reaffirm our commitment to improving care. The theme for 2007 is Improve Your Life!

This year’s theme builds on the WFH’s strategic vision of “Treatment for All.” This vision aspires towards proper diagnosis, management, and care by a multidisciplinary healthcare team for all those with inherited bleeding disorders around the world.
