The resolution serves to commend the efforts of individuals and organizations working towards the prevention and treatment of bleeding disorders and fosters a sense of support for advocacy related to these health issues.

Summary

Senate Resolution 393 (SR393) is a legislative measure recognizing March of 2019 as Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month in Texas. The resolution underlines the importance of awareness regarding bleeding disorders, which affect approximately three million Americans. These disorders can result in life-threatening complications due to the body's inability to properly clot blood following injury or trauma, stemming from various causes such as hereditary conditions and deficiencies in necessary proteins.

While the resolution is primarily celebratory and intended to promote awareness, it also implicitly emphasizes the ongoing challenges faced by individuals with bleeding disorders. The attention it draws towards necessary medical and advocacy efforts may highlight gaps in current research and treatment availability, potentially sparking discussions on healthcare funding and resources aimed at enhancing treatment options for those affected.
