📣 Access to plasma-derived medicinal products (#PDMPs) shouldn't depend on where you live. Yet gaps in collection, supply, & reimbursement mean unequal access across Europe. This #IPAW2026, the EHC is highlighting the need for equitable, sustainable access for all. 🩸

Our 2025 mental health #Survey revealed significant unmet needs across the #BleedingDisorders community, from poor mental well-being to difficulties accessing support. The message is clear: #MentalHealth must be part of comprehensive bleeding disorder care.
000
European Haemophilia Consortium @ehc-news.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
One of the reasons mental health remains underserved in the #BleedingDisorders community is that it often goes unspoken. The EHC's 2025 mental health #Survey gave people a space to share their experiences. The more we talk openly about mental health, the easier it becomes for others to do the same.

European Haemophilia Consortium @ehc-news.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
The EHC's 2025 mental health #Survey included patients, carriers & caregivers because #BleedingDisorders affect entire families. Their #MentalHealth & support matter.

More than half of our 2025 #Survey respondents reported difficulty accessing psychosocial support through their #Haemophilia centre. Support shouldn’t depend on where you live or how hard you search. Better access to #MentalHealth services is essential.

Anxiety. Burnout. Depression. These aren’t side issues for many people with #BleedingDisorders. They’re part of everyday life. Our 2025 survey found #Anxiety was the most commonly reported mental health condition among diagnosed respondents. #MentalHealth is health.

Mental health matters in #BleedingDisorders. Our #Survey of 325 people across 27 countries found: • 44% reported poor mental well-being • 62.9% reported high burnout • 54% struggled to access psychosocial support #MentalHealth can no longer be treated as an afterthought in bleeding disorder care.
