In 2017, Puerto Rico made international headlines as Hurricane Irma and Maria hit the island, leaving Puerto Ricans without running water, electricity, and even shelter. Bleeding disorder community members were not exempt from this reality and faced unprecedented barriers to treatment and care. While still recovering from natural disasters, the island also endures challenges from the global pandemic that has touched the world. Anthony Llanes, Executive Director of the Hemophilia Chapter of Puerto Rico, shares with us the challenges faced by the bleeding disorders community, the chapter’s commitment to providing for families in need, and the resilience of the people of Puerto Rico.
