World Hemophilia Day 2025: Theme: Access for All: Women and Girls Bleed Too
At BG Pharma and Healthcare LTD, we are proud to join the global community in commemorating World Hemophilia Day on April 17, 2025. This year’s theme, “Access for All: Women and Girls Bleed Too,” highlights the urgent need to address the challenges faced by women and girls living with bleeding disorders. As advocates for equitable healthcare, we believe this day is an opportunity to raise awareness, foster understanding, and drive meaningful change.
Understanding Hemophilia and Bleeding Disorders
Hemophilia is a rare genetic disorder that impairs the blood’s ability to clot, leading to prolonged bleeding. While it predominantly affects males, women and girls can also experience bleeding, disorders, often under diagnosed or mismanaged due to misconceptions. These conditions can significantly impact their quality of life, affecting education, careers, and personal relationships.
Why This Year’s Theme Matters
Historically, women and girls with bleeding disorders (WGBDs) have been overlooked, often seen solely as carriers rather than individuals with their own medical needs. This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of recognizing their experiences and ensuring they receive proper diagnosis, treatment, and care. By prioritizing the needs of WGBDs, we strengthen the entire bleeding disorders community and move closer to achieving healthcare equity.
Challenges Faced by Women and Girls
1. Under-diagnosis: Many women and girls go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness and misconceptions about bleeding disorders in females.
2. Inadequate Treatment: Even when diagnosed, they often receive suboptimal care compared to their male counterparts.
3. Impact on Quality of Life: Poorly managed bleeding disorders can lead to physical, emotional, and social challenges.
