An awareness program on Hemophilia was organized for ASHA Karmis on 10th June, 2025 at Dadpur Gram Panchayet. The event was conducted by The Haemophilia Society Calcutta Chapter in collaboration with Hemophilia Federation of India (HFI) and World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH).
The main objective of the program was to spread awareness about Hemophilia and to educate ASHA workers on how to help identify and support patients suffering from Hemophilia.
The guest speaker for the event was Dr. Dipanjana Dutta, State Coordinator, ORDI, West Bengal. She shared important knowledge about the symptoms, causes, and diagnosis of Hemophilia. She guided the ASHA Karmis on how to identify suspected cases and the steps to take for early treatment and support.
The session emphasized the important role ASHA workers play at the grassroots level in healthcare. Their help can greatly improve early diagnosis and create a supportive community for Hemophilia patients.
The event saw active participation from ASHA workers, and many questions were answered during the interactive session. Educational materials and pamphlets were distributed to help ASHA Karmis in their fieldwork.
The awareness program was a great success in empowering ASHA Karmis with essential knowledge about Hemophilia. With their support, early detection and care for Hemophilia patients can improve, leading to a healthier and more aware society.
