This day is commemorating the birthday of Frank Schnabel.
He founded the World Federation of Haemophilia.
This occasion serves as a platform to increase awareness and provide education about haemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
Haemophilia is a rare disease characterized by the inability of the blood to clot properly due to a deficiency in specific clotting factors.
It was resulting in prolonged bleeding that can be life-threatening in certain cases.
The theme for 2023 is "Access for All: Partnership. Policy. Progress. Engaging your government, integrating inherited bleeding disorders into national policy".
