World Thrombosis Day

**World Thrombosis Day** is a global health campaign recognized annually on October 13, dedicated to raising awareness about thrombosis, an often overlooked condition with serious health implications. Spearheaded by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), this initiative highlights the urgent need to address the risks associated with blood clots, particularly venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Through educational events worldwide, World Thrombosis Day aims to empower individuals by informing them about risk factors, signs, and symptoms of thrombosis, while promoting conversations between patients and healthcare providers.

The campaign collaborates with tens of thousands of health organizations and advocates to develop targeted awareness strategies, emphasizing prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment options. By advocating for comprehensive care systems and patient support, World Thrombosis Day strives to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by thrombosis, aligning its mission with global health targets aimed at combating non-communicable diseases.
