"Keep speaking their names. Keep remembering them." - Commemorating World AIDS Day 2023 ft. Mark Ward, LGBT Ambassador,The Haemophilia Society UK

In this episode we commemorate World AIDS Day 2023. Host, Dr Kate Khair is joined by contaminated blood scandal campaigner and The Haemophilia Society UK's LGBT Ambassador to discuss the impact HIV and AIDS has had on the bleeding disorders community. Mark generously shares his personal experience growing up with haemophilia from receiving no treatment, to then receiving contaminated blood products.

After taking to the skies to pursue his dream of working in the air travel sector, Mark hung up his cabin crew uniform to become one of the leading community advocates, campaigning for justice of those affected by contaminated blood and serving as the worlds first recognised LGBT Ambassador in the hemophilia and bleeding disorders world.
