The body reacts in several ways to stop more bleeding when someone suffers from an injury either internal or external. However, in haemophilia, these components that help stop bleeding are absent, leading to persistent bleeding that, in some circumstances, can be life-threatening. This includes nose, gum, and joint bleeding after small traumas, as well as bleeding after circumcision or injections. Sometimes blood is detected in the urine or faeces without a known reason. Haemophilia primarily manifests in men and runs in families.

The majority of those who have haemophilia are still undiagnosed, hence the day is devoted to teaching people about the importance of early identification of the condition for better care. This event provides a platform to spread knowledge and educate people about haemophilia and other bleeding disorders. We want to promote more accurate diagnosis and open access to care for those who have haemophilia. It is an appeal to local government officials and healthcare policymakers to emphasise the importance of the prevention of bleeding incidence and the availability of efficient diagnostic and management options for all those living with haemophilia.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
