Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder in which blood does not clot normally due to a deficiency or dysfunction of blood clotting factors. This condition can lead to prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery, as well as spontaneous bleeding in joints and internal organs. While it is a lifelong condition, with proper diagnosis and management, individuals with hemophilia can lead active and healthy lives.

World Hemophilia Day, observed annually, is a global opportunity to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. This day aims to educate the public about these conditions, the challenges faced by individuals living with hemophilia, and the importance of early diagnosis and access to proper treatment. This observance also serves as a platform to support the hemophilia community, encourage research, and advocate for a better quality of life for those affected.
