About this webinar: As people with bleeding disorders live longer than ever before, questions often arise about how ageing may influence bleeding patterns and overall health. In this webinar, leading experts and a patient representative explore the relationship between bleeding disorders and ageing, discussing whether bleeding symptoms change over time, the biological mechanisms involved, and the clinical implications for long-term care and management. The session also provides an opportunity for patients, caregivers, and advocates to engage directly with experts through an interactive Q&A discussion. About the organisers: EHC is an international non-profit organisation representing 49 national patient organisations for people with rare bleeding disorders located in the World Health Organisation (WHO) European region, including 27 Member States of the European Union and most Member States of the Council of Europe.
