World Haemophilia Day 2025 puts a spotlight on an often-overlooked challenge: traveling with a bleeding disorder. For haemophilia patients, the idea of a spontaneous trip may sound terrifying-but it doesn’t have to be. With the right plan, adventure is absolutely possible.

Expert Dr. Tuphan Kanti Dolai emphasizes smart preparation as the key to safe travel. Start by visiting your doctor and getting a travel clearance note that outlines your condition and medication. Pro tip: carry translated copies if you're headed abroad! This not only helps during airport checks but ensures you get the right care if needed.

Your meds? Never pack them in check-in luggage. Always use cold gel packs in carry-ons to keep clotting factors effective. And don’t forget to carry more than you need-you never know when a delay might strike.

Before you even board, map out hospitals along your route. Some countries may have different rules for your medication, so check ahead. A detailed list of emergency contacts and local health providers can save crucial minutes in a crisis.

If bleeding occurs, act fast: self-administer your treatment if trained, or seek help immediately. A medical alert bracelet or health ID card can be a literal lifesaver.

So yes, the road has bumps-but with foresight, haemophilia doesn’t have to clip your wings. Pack smart, stay informed, and go see the world-on your own terms.
