2018 - THE YEAR FOR HAEMOPHILIA

Blessings Always Trust dedicated the year to raising awareness, supporting treatment, and advancing research for hemophilia and other inheritable bleeding disorders. These conditions, though often overlooked, affect countless families, especially children, who are at risk of severe bleeding episodes from even minor injuries. In India, a country with the world’s largest population of hemophilia patients, many children unknowingly suffer due to a lack of awareness and proper medical care. Simple falls or scrapes during play can lead to serious internal bleeding that, without timely treatment, can result in life-threatening complications.

We are deeply committed to improving the lives of those affected by these conditions. Our focus this year was not only on providing access to high-quality, affordable healthcare but also on spreading awareness about hemophilia and its challenges. Too many families struggle in silence, unaware of how to properly manage this condition. Through education and advocacy, we aimed to break the stigma and ensure that every child and family affected by hemophilia has access to the information and care they deserve.

Through strong partnerships with local Indian organizations and generous donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, we were able to make a significant impact. These collaborations enabled us to provide integrated services that responded quickly to emergency care needs, reducing pain, anxiety, and preventing life-threatening situations for hemophilia patients.

Our collective efforts helped not just to save lives but to improve the overall quality of life for patients, especially children who are often too young to fully understand the risks they face. The awareness we spread also laid the groundwork for ongoing education programs, which will continue to teach families about hemophilia and how to manage the condition effectively.
