During his childhood, Etyang Francis suffered from frequent, debilitating knee joint bleeds and severe nosebleeds. At the time, his family had no knowledge of hemophilia; like many people in Uganda facing unexplained medical issues, they believed his condition was due to witchcraft. This misconception delayed his medical attention, and he eventually became physically disabled and had to rely on crutches for mobility. A turning point in his life came during a routine hospital visit when his parents ran into an old friend who recognized the symptoms of a bleeding disorder. This friend advised the family to attend a hemophilia medical camp organized by the Hemophilia Foundation of Uganda (HFU)—the country’s WFH national member organization (NMO)—at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital. There, Francis was finally diagnosed with hemophilia A, and soon he began receiving donated treatment products provided by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) Humanitarian Aid Program. In the space of a few days, his life completely changed.
