By and large it was a successful event and people started dropping in from 12:00 noon onwards and some even stayed on till 5:00pm as they appreciated the general ambience, met patients, staff and members of the Executive Board , watched a short video which was played on loop and introduced Haemophilia & the Society to its viewers, and also had interviews of our President – Dr Munawar Sher Khan, HTC Coordinator – Mr. Alamgir Khan Abbasi, patients & a few clips which included cartoons and celebrities talking about Haemophilia.
Our patients who have their own businesses, two sponsored by Save one Life USA, set up stalls to highlight the fact that haemophilia is not a hindrance in any way to their daily life.
