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.

Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4.
