World Hemophilia Day
17th April 2024

At the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mansoura National University, our students are not only dedicated to their
academic journey but are also passionate about contributing to important health awareness initiatives. In a
recent effort to raise awareness about Hemophilia, a group of students has created a powerful video to educate
the public about this rare but seriousbleeding disorder.

What is Hemophilia?

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder where the blood doesn't clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding even
from minor injuries. This condition occurs because of a lack of clotting factors in the blood.
Why Raise Awareness?

Despite its importance, hemophilia is still not widely understood, and many people, including
patients and healthcare providers, may not be fully aware of the latest advancements in
treatment. The Faculty of Pharmacy students have come together to create a video to:

1. Educate the Public: Increase awareness about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for hemophilia.
2. Promote Early Diagnosis: Encourage early detection to prevent complications from uncontrolled bleeding.
3. Advocate for Better Care: Highlight the importance of improving access to healthcare and treatment
for people living with hemophilia.
