13 April - Health
Today we heard from Sister Anne Cruickshank - Coordinator from the Western Cape Haemophilia foundation. Haemophilia is a rare inherited disorder that leads to abnormal bleeding, and specifically the inability to stop bleeding. On Thursday is a World Haemophilia Day so Sister Cruickshank told us about some of the awareness events they have planned for the day. For more on Haemophilia you can contact the South African Haemophilia Foundation at (021) 785 7140 or Sister Anne on 082 788 1038 alternatively you can visit www.haemophilia.org.za
