About.

The Network of Rare Blood Disorder Organizations (NRBDO)/Réseau des associations vouées aux troubles sanguins rares (RAVTSR) is a coalition of national patient groups, formed to share the best practices in health care delivery for people with rare blood disorders such as aplastic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), Fanconi anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), myelodysplasia, primary immune deficiency, porphyria, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemophilia, and von Willebrand disease. 

We work and advocate together in a coordinated fashion, toward high quality, effective, accessible, interdisciplinary care for all Canadians affected by rare blood disorders.
​Our mandate is to improve the healthcare delivery for people affected by rare blood disorders by:
  • Working together to ensure the best comprehensive care
  • Ensuring a safe and secure blood system
  • Supporting the members by sharing best practices in governance
  • Developing skills in health care advocacy 
  • Avoiding overlap and inefficiencies.

​
On May 12, 2015, the NRBDO became incorporated under the Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations Act.
