Who we are

That's a powerful and inspiring origin story for the Hemophilia Society Prayagraj! It highlights the grassroots nature of the organization and the direct motivation of individuals affected by hemophilia to improve their own care and the system around them.

  • * *Founding Members:* The society began with a small group of *4-5 young individuals with hemophilia* in Prayagraj.
  • * *Driving Force:* Their primary motivation for forming the group was their *dissatisfaction with the existing treatment and the supply of clotting factor*. This suggests they faced challenges such as inconsistent availability of factor, inadequate treatment protocols, or difficulties in accessing care.
  • * *Early Action:* They proactively *grouped together and started meeting* to discuss and strategize for change. This demonstrates their initiative and determination to address the issues they were facing.
  • * *Treatment Location:* The detail about factor administration occurring in *Ward 9 on the first floor* provides a specific insight into the healthcare setting at the time. This might have presented accessibility challenges or other logistical issues that the early members sought to improve.

This origin story underscores the importance of patient advocacy and how individuals directly affected by a condition can be the most effective drivers of change. The Hemophilia Society Prayagraj's beginnings reflect a strong desire for better treatment and a more patient-centered approach to care in their local community. It's likely that their early meetings and collective voice laid the foundation for the more organized and impactful society we see today.

Our Journey

### *A Journey of Advocacy: From Struggle to Success*
Our journey with hemophilia began in Prayagraj, where free factor supply was non-existent and information on treatment was scarce. In the early days, all we knew about treatment was using ice and plasma started in Uttar Pradesh around 2013-2014, the supply was inconsistent. At SRN Medical College, we faced significant challenges, including a lack of trained staff and having to go to a first-floor ward for infusions—a difficult task with bleeding joints. This lack of proper care took a heavy toll on our health.

Motivated by the need to ease the burden on our community, a few of us young hemophilics gathered to register a society. Our struggle to improve the infusion process and secure a reliable factor supply was a defining moment.

  • A *dedicated physiotherapy room* and a *four-bed hemophilia ward*.
  • A *continuous factor supply* and an *easy infusion process*.
  • A growing community of *250 registered patients*.
  • Regular *awareness camps* and *factor and kit distribution*.
  • *Eight patients* who are now receiving life-changing *prophylactic treatment* at SRN Medical College.

This transformation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our society. While we have achieved so much, we continue to work for the best possible care for our hemophilia community.
Today, those struggles have paved the way for remarkable progress. Our society now boasts:
