A national strategy for haemochromatosis was big on the agenda in Leinster House during May. Thank you to all the TDs and Senators who attended our briefing, in particular huge thanks to Senator Martin Conway, who hosted the event and Cllr Damian Boylan, who has long advocated for haemochromatosis, as Ireland’s most common genetic disorder, to be high on the health agenda.
Our objectives in calling for a National Strategy for haemochromatosis, include the following:
Your membership of the IHA makes us stronger and gives us a collective voice to advocate on behalf of our members, patients and their families. At this time of year, we encourage all our members to renew your annual membership and continue to be part of our 1,000 strong community!
Wear your Christmas jumper to support the work of the Irish Haemochromatosis Association OR make a gift of a donation big or small this holiday season to ensure that patients in Ireland get the help and support they need.
Thank you to all the Donegal community who came out in great numbers to attend our recent Patient Information evening in the Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny, Co Donegal. Over 120 people, some who travelled long distances, joined us on the night to hear Dr. Paul Grant’s talk and presentation on haemochromatosis.
