Each March, the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) calls awareness to inheritable blood and bleeding disorders. Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month (BDAM) encourages patients and families with hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and rare factor disorders to share their lives, stories, struggles, and successes.
Observed each March since 2016, BDAM focuses attention on policymakers, public authorities, industry representatives, scientists, and health professionals. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, there are about 3 million people nationwide who are affected by bleeding disorders.
These conditions are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. This causes problems later. Understanding that bleeding disorders are serious conditions that need early diagnosis is extremely important. With research and advancements, a cure can be found someday for many of these conditions.
During March, we encourage families and friends to donate a pint of blood to save a life. And show your support on social media. If you share your personal story, others will learn and show their support too!

Marzo es el Mes de Concientización sobre los Trastornos de la Coagulación
Cada marzo, la Fundación Nacional de Hemofilia (NHF, por sus siglas en inglés) crea conciencia sobre los trastornos hereditarios de la sangre y la coagulación. El Mes de Concientización sobre los Trastornos de la Coagulación (BDAM, por sus siglas en inglés) alienta a los pacientes y familiares con hemofilia, enfermedad de von Willebrand y trastornos de factores raros a compartir de sus vidas, historias, luchas y éxitos.
Observado cada marzo desde 2016, BDAM centra la atención en los políticos, autoridades públicas, representantes de la industria, científicos y profesionales de la salud. Según los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades de EE. UU., hay alrededor de 3 millones de personas en todo el país que se ven afectadas por trastornos hemorrágicos.
Estas condiciones a menudo son mal entendidas y mal diagnosticadas. Esto causa problemas más adelante. Comprender que los trastornos hemorrágicos son condiciones graves que requieren un diagnóstico temprano es extremadamente importante. Con la investigación y los avances, se puede encontrar una cura algún día para muchas de estas condiciones.
Durante marzo, alentamos a las familias y amigos a donar una pinta de sangre para salvar una vida. Y muestre su apoyo en las redes sociales. Si comparte su historia personal, ¡otros aprenderán y mostrarán su apoyo también!
