The World Thrombosis Day campaign seeks to increase global awareness of thrombosis, including its causes, risk factors, signs/symptoms and evidence-based prevention and treatment. This mission supports the World Health Assembly's global target of reducing premature deaths by non-communicable disease by 25 percent by 2025, as well as the World Health Organization's global action plan for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases between 2013 and 2020.
World Thrombosis Day was founded in 2014 by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) in response to members' requests for a focused global awareness day on thrombosis. Nearly 200 organizations worldwide participated in the first day, raising much-needed visibility of the disease through special events, educational forums, widespread media coverage and social media.
New organizations around the world join our movement every day.
