World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week takes place from this Saturday, 1st June to the 7th June 2024. Our mision is to promote early diagnosis of haemochromatosis. 1 in 5 of us are carriers of the gene and 1 in 83 people in Ireland are predisposed to develop haemochromatosis.
Nominate us to win up to €28,000 in AIB’s Community Fund this year. Every vote will count towards helping us continue to support haemochromatosis patients and their families in Ireland. The deadline is the 12th June. Thank you!
