FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act of 2026
This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive review of federal programs addressing bleeding disorders in women and girls, with a specific focus on improving diagnosis, provider training, and access to care in underserved areas. Following this review, the legislation authorizes $10 million annually from 2027 to 2031 to fund a national public education campaign aimed at raising awareness among women, girls, and healthcare providers to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment. The law defines bleeding disorders as inherited conditions affecting blood clotting, such as hemophilia and von Willebrand disease, and requires the report and subsequent campaign to include input from patient advocates and resources tailored for rural and diverse communities.
