Discover Anupama’s story as part of the World Hemophilia Day 2025 video series:

Hello, this is Anupama, a member of the girls and women with inherited bleeding disorders committee of WFH. I’m from India and I have a mild deficiency of factor VIII. But I got my diagnosis only in my 30s. It’s very, very important to create awareness about the possibility of bleeding disorders in women because many don’t know about it. And it’s equally important to advocate for diagnosis, and access to treatment for women and girls as well.

In India, our NMO, HFI, has been advocating for the same and our women’s group has been conducting workshops and this years four regional workshops focused on women and girls with bleeding disorders as well.

So let’s create awareness about women and girls with bleeding disorders and advocate for proper diagnosis and access to treatment, globally.

Women and girls bleed to.
