About Us
The Canadian Association of PNH Patients is a not-for-profit Canadian organization formed in 2009. The mission of the organization is to connect Canadians affected by Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria and advocate for the best possible care for patients. The organization also provides support to caregivers, and works to increase awareness and understanding of PNH.
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a very rare and debilitating disease of the bone marrow that affects the blood and major organs. It is a chronic, life-threatening illness and can have devastating effects upon a patient physically, mentally and emotionally. This website represents a growing community of patients, caregivers and members of the medical community who wish to support and advocate on behalf of those living with PNH.
The Association is generously supported by corporate and private donors, including unrestricted educational grants from Alexion Pharma Canada Inc.
