In the 1920s, a scientist packed her bags and travelled to India to understand why pregnant women were dying.
Nobody had thought to ask the question before.

Blood is an organ. So why don't we treat it like one?
Dr. Daniela Filipescu (WFSA President) challenges the centuries-old approach of transfusion-first instead of prevention-first. 30-60% of surgical patients arrive anemic. There's a better way. #WorldAnemiaAwarenessDay

Who are anesthesiologists? 🩺
The invisible guardians in every operating room. The doctors you barely meetβ€”but your life depends on them.
When you close your eyes before surgery, an anesthesiologist promises: 'I will take care of you while you are asleep.'

Athletes know that peak performance requires more than training. #Bloodhealth, specifically hemoglobin and iron status, directly impacts oxygen transport, energy production, and recovery.

Growing strong starts with healthy blood. Childhood is a period of rapid physical and cognitive development, and blood health plays a fundamental role in growth, learning, and immune function.

For young women, adolescence brings changes, including menstruation. But exhaustion, heavy bleeding, or missing school because of your period? That's worth checking.

Your body creates nearly 50% more blood to support your growing babyβ€”and that requires more iron, folate, and other essential nutrients. Routine #bloodhealth screening during pregnancy helps healthcare providers support you proactively, ensuring both you and your baby get what you need to thrive.

Before surgery, anesthesiologists assess your #bloodhealth as part of preoperative care. Why? Because knowing your hemoglobin, iron levels, and overall blood status helps surgical teams provide safer care and better outcomes.

You might not see it, but your blood is working right now, sustaining every heartbeat, enabling every moment. 2 billion people with anemia don't have blood that works this way. Simple tasks become battles for energy. It's an everyday essential everyone deserves.

Women make most family healthcare decisions β€” and nearly two-thirds of the global health workforce are women.
Too often, the people caring for everyone else overlook their own blood health.
Let’s change that.
Ask: How’s your blood health?

Iron deficiency affects TWO BILLION people in the world but because they’re mostly women and children, almost nobody cares.

Had a great time getting on my usual soapbox at a fantastic #SABM25 meeting.

And if you don’t know about patient blood management, it’s very cool so check it out.
