(3BL Media) April 20, 2012 - Thousands of people throughout the world celebrated the World Haemophilia Day on 17 April in order to raise awareness and improve understanding of haemophilia which is an inherited or acquired bleeding disorder that prevents blood from clotting. More than 400,000 people globally live with haemophilia; worldwide it is estimated that 75% of patients do not have access to appropriate care.
Novo Nordisk is, as a corporate partner to the World Federation of Hemophilia, organising awareness-raising campaigns and a variety of activities to inform people about bleeding disorders. One example is the YouTube channel with informative and inspiring videos focusing on the challenges of living with haemophilia.
“In collaboration with all partners in the haemophilia community, we aim to raise standards of care, improve access to treatment and enhance the quality of life for people with haemophilia,” says Charlotte Ersbøll, corporate vice president at Novo Nordi
