ZIMBABWE HEMOPHILIA ASSOCIATION

Together towards sustainable hemophilia care and support in Zimbabwe.

About Us
Zimbabwe Hemophilia Association (ZHA) was established in 1988, Parirenyatwa being the only Hemophilia clinic across Zimbabwe. By mid-1993, the association had about 189 patients. Over the years, ZHA has existed to improve the diagnosis, care and management of hemophilia, a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by absence of clotting factors. To date, ZHA remain committed to improve the care and enhance quality of life for hemophilia patients through awareness creation and education, diagnosis, treatment, advocacy and livelihoods. Through support from both local and international partners, ZHA members have tripled, also targeting those with related bleeding disorders including women and girls. It has also established another hemophilia clinic at Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo.

What We Do

Healthcare Services

One of our key priorities at ZHA is to strive that everyone with hemophilia and related bleeding disorder can access quality healthcare and well-being services like treatment and related medical needs, at the right place and time. With support from World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), ZHA members can get their Factor from Parirenyatwa or Mpilo Hospitals. Similarly, Norvo Nordisk has also supported ZHA with a diagnosis facility which was established at Parirenyatwa Hospital. Be part of ZHA family today and get access to sustainable healthcare support

Education & Training

We provide all with accurate medical knowledge on hemophilia treatment and self-care strategies. We also train patients on Factor injection, safe physical activities, and nutrition and lifestyle adjustment to reduce complications. With our partner Life Giving Foundation, we also develop and train targeted members with skills for personal and professional development, including self-reliance opportunities.

Advocacy

ZHA ensures that stories of people with hemophilia and bleeding disorders are heard. We train the young and equip all members to become advocates for better healthcare access, treatment availability and patient rights. Together we can raise public awareness on hemophilia and bleeding disorders through storytelling, media campaigns and community engagements; ensuring that the concerns of all members are addressed with fairness.

Self-reliance
One key fundamental pillar at ZHA is to transform lives through development. We design and implement extensive development projects that improve the lives of people with hemophilia and bleeding disorders, fostering independency, self-sufficiency and overall well-being.
Partnerhip
At ZHA, we value the support of our patners like Norvo Nordisk, World Federation of Hemophila, National Blood Services of Zimbabwe, Life Giving Foundation, including the Ministry of Health through Parirenyatwa and Mpilo Hospitals. We also welcome new partners; such collaborations play a critical role in improving and sustaining care for people living with bleeding disorders in Zimbabwe.
