World Hemophilia Day 2027: Every voice counts

World Hemophilia Day 2027: Every voice counts.

April 17, 2027 will be a day to celebrate World Hemophilia Day, and the solidarity of the global inherited bleeding disorders community. This year’s theme of “Every voice counts.” recognizes the successes that have come from the collective efforts of countless individuals and organizations collaborating to improve care in the name of Treatment for All. The results of these efforts are clear: the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution on Global Action to Advance Health Equity for People with Hemophilia and Other Bleeding Disorders, important updates to the World Health Organization (WHO) Model Lists of Essential Medicines, significant increases to the number of people with bleeding disorders diagnosed and treated, and much more. World Hemophilia Day 2027 celebrates these successes which continue to ripple outward globally—but also reminds us that more can be done to translate these global wins to local impact.

This April, let’s celebrate our community and continue moving towards our shared vision of Treatment for All. How will you advocate this #WHD2027?

This World Hemophilia Day will celebrate the strength of our global community and the power of every voice working together. Our global wins are a foundation for more local impact through stronger policies, better diagnosis, and improved access to treatment and comprehensive care. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue moving forward. How will you advocate this World Hemophilia Day? What will you do to further support your community?

—Cesar Garrido, President, WFH

Who should get involved?

World Hemophilia Day is for everyone. The event is an invitation for the world to listen, learn, amplify, and act. Friends, colleagues, schools, workplaces, healthcare institutions, community leaders, policymakers, donors, corporate and community partners, and the wider public, can all help make bleeding disorders more visible. While you might not know someone with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease or another inherited bleeding disorder, just a few minutes learning about our vision of Treatment for All might just inspire you to get engaged and involved. Join us on April 17, and help make a difference in the lives of thousands of people around the world.

How to get involved

There are many ways the people of our community—those who have been with us for years, and those who are new to the community and want to learn more—can support the inherited bleeding disorders in your locally and globally.

We will soon be sharing various resources and information on ways to get involved on our World Hemophilia Day webpage and the WFH News page. Additionally, make sure to follow the WFH social media channels (Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Instagram) for the latest World Hemophilia Day updates.
