Last night, our Richmond community came together for an incredible evening of connection and empowerment to kick off World Hemophilia Day!

This year’s theme, "Diagnosis: First step to care," hits home. The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) estimates that over three-quarters of the population of people with hemophilia worldwide are undiagnosed, and an even more significant gap also exists for other bleeding disorders. This means that hundreds of thousands of people with bleeding disorders around the world still lack access to basic care - we know that closing that gap is the only way to achieve "Treatment for All."

Last night we gathered in community to explore new possibilities, and inspire each other to look beyond perceived limits. From group activities to heartfelt conversations, we left feeling more motivated than ever.

BioMarin has announced it will withdraw the gene therapy ROCTAVIAN from the U.S. market, with availability continuing through the end of May.

ROCTAVIAN marked a major milestone as the first approved gene therapy for adults with severe hemophilia A. While access challenges influenced this decision, the research behind it represents decades of progress.

NBDF remains committed to supporting innovation and access for our community.
