At the EAHAD 2020 Congress, in The Hague, Netherlands, we honoured professionals who have made exemplary contributions to the haemophilia and allied disorders community in Europe and around the world with the EAHAD Recognition Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Haemophilia and Allied Disorders field. One of the recipients is Mr Brian O’Mahony, Chief Executive Officer of the Irish Haemophilia Society. We took the opportunity to interview Mr O’Mahony on his background, his views on the current access to treatment for people with haemophilia, as well as the role of the patient haemophilia community in the age of new treatments.
