As a hemophilia patient born in Pakistan, I have faced many challenges in my life due to the limited resources available for treatment. Early on, I struggled to get the care I needed to manage my condition and faced many difficulties as a result. However, thanks to the Hemophilia Patients Welfare Society in Rawalpindi, I have been able to overcome these challenges and live a better life.

I am incredibly grateful for the Hemophilia Patients Welfare Society and the difference they have made in my life. Their support has allowed me to access the treatments and care I need to manage my condition and live a fulfilling life, and for that, I will always be thankful.

I was born in a Pukhtoon family in Kohat KPK where there was no awareness of bleeding disorders or Hemophilia. We had no history of Hemophilia in our family. I was the first one and due to no awareness and regular bleeds in my knee joint I got deformity in my joint. My younger brother also died due to intracranial bleed who was also suffering from Hemophilia. My father shifted to Rawalpindi City for me so I get proper treatment as there is treatment available in Rawalpindi. I am living a normal life now, I have done masters in Public Health Management and am running a successful business.

When I was born my parents had no idea about bleeding disorders. With time my parents started noticing that there is something with me due to which my bleeding does not stop easily or I get bruises often. One day my mother was watching TV and Dr. Tahira Zafar was having and awareness talk on Hemophilia on PTV and the symptoms she was telling about Hemophilia were same as symptoms in me, this clicked my parents and they took me to Hemophilia Patients Welfare Society Rawalpindi. Since than I started getting proper treatment and care and awareness about my disease. Due to efforts of team of HPWS RWP I get proper treatment and care and am able to spend my life as a normal person. I am studying and working at the same time and volunteer for the cause of Hemophilia in Pakistan in best possible way.

I never new I had an inherited bleeding disorder inspite of running around different hospitals . I saw an awareness program on television about Hemophilia Patients Welfare Society ,Rawalpindi and got in touch with them .It was after this that I was diagnosed with von Williebrand Disease, it took 15 years for the diagnosis to be made. The Society has helped me tremendously , not only with my bleeding issues but also building my capacity and completing my education . I now run my own Teaching academy. Thank you to the the Hemophilia Society & Treatment Center Staff for helping me in my journey

I am a patient of VWD. I met Dr. Tahira at Sundas Foundation, Gujranwala whilst getting treatment. After meeting her I started getting solutions to my problems as she felt my pain the same way I felt it. After getting inspired by her my father Mr. Mushtaq Ahmad also joined the Hemophilia Society and worked for it with full enthusiasm ,all his life .
