A RESOLUTION to commemorate March 2023 as "Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month" in Tennessee.
The resolution stresses that with adequate treatment and medical resources, individuals with hemophilia can manage their condition and maintain productive lives. It highlights the role of federally recognized treatment centers in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with bleeding disorders. By promoting a month dedicated to this cause, HJR0036 aims to enhance public understanding and foster a community support system among those affected by these conditions. This initiative could potentially lead to improved healthcare policies and funding for treatment programs in Tennessee.
HJR0036 is a resolution introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly to designate March 2023 as 'Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month.' This initiative seeks to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inheritable bleeding disorders, highlighting their impact on the individuals affected by them. The resolution addresses the significant health implications of such conditions, including the risks of chronic pain, disability, and even death, emphasizing the importance of proper treatment and healthcare access for those impacted.
HJR0036 does not present significant contention as it serves as a resolution rather than a legislative act affecting laws directly. However, the underlying issues related to healthcare access and historical challenges faced by individuals with hemophilia, including past contamination of blood supplies, could engage discussions on how best to support this community moving forward. By declaring a month of awareness, the resolution also invites further dialogue about public health strategies and community engagement to address the needs of those with bleeding disorders.
