Officially founded on June 25, 1985 and registered by the Registrar of Societies, the Haemophilia Society of Singapore (HSS) provides help and support for individuals with haemophilia. Acknowledged by the Commissioner of Charities on September 17, 1986, HSS is an affiliated member of the National Council of Social Services (NCSS) and a member of the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH).
Over the years, HSS has established itself as an inclusive community, connecting haemophilia patients and their families with others facing similar challenges, sharing their experiences and providing mutual support. We also held many seminars to raise awareness and understanding of this lesser known medical condition. Additionally, the society acts as a link between haemophilia patients and medical caregivers, promoting better understanding and long-term relationships.
Everyday as the world unfolds We can see we are not alone Hand in hand, everyone, we stand Firm with no regrets
Though at times, we say life is unfair At times we just can’t go on Then again, just a few steps away We witness a ray of hope
So be strong, let us carry on To live a life worth living for Traveling on with our hearts as one Never letting go
So at times, we say life is unfair Remember our song, our prayer Let it be our pillar of strength For many more years to come
