A Project Share Story
Zoraida Rosado
Project SHARE had another banner year providing
blood-clotting medicine to developing countries. In 2012 we donated 5.6 million
IU of factor, valued at $5.6 million, to 34 countries. Through these donations,
we were able to provide relief to hundreds of people with bleeding disorders.
We also donated
NovoSeven, valued at $427,000, to
6 countries. In a major contrast with past years, most of
our donations in 2012 went to Latin America and the Caribbean.
SHARE
visited Zimbabwe in December—our fourth trip there. Laurie Kelley also visited
Zambia, making the first official visit by a hemophilia program there. She met
with a newly formed hemophilia organization and submitted an assessment report
to the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). SHARE provided $1,000 in funds to
help the Haemophilia Foundation of Zambia (HFZ) create business cards and
letterhead stationery.
Our deepest
thanks go to all who have donated factor to Project SHARE, especially those who
donated in memory of a loved one. Project SHARE is also grateful for the
continued financial support of our corporate partners in 2012:
• ASD
Healthcare
• Baxter
Healthcare Corporation
• CSL
Behring
• New

• Novo
Nordisk Inc.
