From the HFNZ President

Welcome to the website of the Haemophilia Foundation of New Zealand.  Please take the time to get to know who we are, what we do and how we can help you.

A diagnosis of haemophilia, von Willebrand’s disorder or other even less common bleeding disorders in your family can be initially daunting.  Living with a bleeding disorder certainly creates additional challenges.  Despite these challenges, HFNZ continues to be witness to endless achievements in our community.

Haemophilia and other bleeding disorders do not discriminate – they affect a diverse range of people in virtually every region of New Zealand.   This has created a dynamic and truly national organisation that has wide-spread representation.

HFNZ has been established for 50 years and is a National Member Organisation of the World Federation of Hemophilia.  We receive less than 7% government funding and rely on the support of charitable trusts, corporations, benefactors, and members of the public.  It is this generosity and philanthropy that has enabled the Foundation to grow and provide a range of services to people with haemophilia and related bleeding disorders. 

We are committed to promoting excellence in haemophilia care, education, advocacy and support.   We are truly grateful to all our supporters for enabling this work to continue. 

Deon York
President, HFNZ
