Haemophilia Month Celebration?

There are several things wrong with the following picture.  Can you guess what they are?


"April is world haemophilia month celebration."

Let's break it down.

"April is world haemophilia month."

WRONG!

April is national haemophilia awareness month.

Apparently whoever made this sign did not know that April is national and not world haemophilia  awareness month.  In the USA, for example, haemophilia awareness month is March

However, April 17th is world haemophilia awareness day.

Month, day, anyone could mix that up quite easily.

"April is world haemophilia month celebration."

Really?  Haemophilia celebration?  No. April is national haemophilia awareness month and April 17th is international haemophilia awareness day. There is no celebration. Haemophilia is a disease where a person's blood does not clot so they keep bleeding if they are cut. A tiny cut could kill a person with haemophilia. What is there to celebrate about that?

The whole point is awareness.  
Sadly, there are many life-threatening medical conditions that many of us know little to nothing about, unless we happen to have a family member who suffers from such a condition. Thankfully, nowadays most people realize how very important it is to get the word out about various diseases in order to raise awareness about the difficulties some of those around us have to deal with every day. Hemophilia Awareness Month was created to do just that: shed some light on a condition that is still unknown to many, and find ways to help hemophiliacs who may feel all alone with their problems, or simply lack the financial means necessary to keep their illness under control. In short, hemophilia is a disease that prevents the blood from clotting after an injury, meaning that a sufferer simply bleeds on and on, something that can easily cause serious health consequences, or even death.

Granted the page linked to tells one how to celebrate haemophilia awareness month but there is still not a celebration and no one calls it World Hemophilia Celebration Day.  It's all to raise money for research to find a cure. Every disease has its month or day or week and the point of these days is to raise money for research.

"April is world haemophilia month celebration."

Everything about that statement is wrong.  April is national haemophilia awareness month here in the Philippines and April 17th is World Haemophilia Day. There is no celebration. Only awareness and fund raising.

The person who made this banner must be out of their head. The logo of the Haemophilia Advocates Philippines is prominently displayed which means they are likely responsible for the error. How is it possible that a group dedicated solely to raising awareness of haemophilia could mess up this bad? Hopefully they will correct the error before next year's Haemophilia Awareness Month rolls around.

  1. Having haemophilia A this means that his body, his immune system, fights off the medicine – the infused factor VIII. The alternative clotting factors that we used to control bleeding were much less effective. His medical condition was heart broken. Despite our visit to several doctors his health wasn't getting better. He was subjected to different medications, by many doctors for treatment without the assurance of having a permanent cure. Having a son with hemophilia and then, the added challenge of an inhibitor, is not always easy. Suspicion that something wasn’t right began when he was 6 months old due to the heavy amount of bruising which started showing up all over his legs. As a parent, I would love to fix things and make everything better. Fortunately, there have been other positive alternative (Herbal Medicine) though few people doesn't know the challenges of living with hemophilia. If your child is having same problem, do not expose him/her to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective.
