The Hindu
A picnic organised by the Madras Chapter around World Hemophilia Day observed on April 17
Members of Hemophilia Society - Madras Chapter are making preparations for their annual picnic — this time, on April 23 at a resort near Sriperumbudur. This annual picnic is one of the most remarkable events on its calendar.
The event is usually organised around World Hemophilia Day observed on April 17.
The day trip is an opportunity to bring those with haemophilia together and instil fresh confidence in them to face the challenges posed by the genetic disorder.
“One consideration that goes into the choice of a place for our picnic is that it must have a swimming pool as hydrotherapy plays a big role in the therapy for those with this condition,” says R Sathyanarayanan, secretary, Hemophilia Society — Madras Chapter.
Besides quiz, games and other activities aimed at getting people to unwind and relax, psychosocial sessions for parents of children with haemophilia are also planned.
“We are expecting close to 100 people to join us, including toddlers,” says Sathyanarayanan.
