In news– World Hemophilia Day is observed every year on April 17.

About the day-

  • The day is aimed to raise awareness about the bleeding disorder of patients suffering from this particular disease. 
  • The theme for the year 2022 is ‘Access for All: Partnership. Policy. Progress. Engaging your government, integrating inherited bleeding disorders into national policy.’
  • The day has its historical beginning on the birthday of Frank Schnabel, who founded the World Federation of Haemophilia in 1963.
  • The first WFH Congress was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on June 25, 1963, and was attended by representatives from 12 countries. 

About Hemophilia-

  • The disease is considered one of the rare disorders where the blood of the patient doesn’t clot properly due to the lack of blood-clotting proteins. 
  • A patient with such a kind of disease undergoes an accidental injury, then the lack of clotting factors may cause excessive bleeding and they bleed for a longer period of time.
  • It is quite rare and about 1 in 10,000 people are born with it.
  • The most common type of hemophilia is called Haemophilia A. This means the person does not have enough clotting factor VIII (factor eight).
  • Haemophilia B is less common and a person with Haemophilia B does not have enough factor IX (factor nine). 
  • The result is the same for people with haemophilia A and B, that is they bleed for a longer time than normal.
  • Haemophilia is usually inherited, meaning that it is passed on through a parent’s genes. 
  • Sometimes haemophilia can occur when there is no family history of it and is caused by a change in the person’s own genes. This is called sporadic haemophilia. 

Some warning signs of haemophilia-

  • Excessive bleeding after injuries is difficult to stop. 
  • Bleeding can also emerge due to dental issues which can occur during a clinical treatment or brushing.
  • Even a minor prick to the skin that’s as small as a vaccination can stimulate excessive bleeding.
  • The emergence of unusual bruises on the skin that are often large or deep.
  • Experiencing blood in stool or urine. If not haemophilia, this sign should never be overlooked as it can hint at an underlying health condition.
  • Pain and swelling in joints or muscles. This can also result in stiffness.
