Rwanda Clot Awareness Network (RCAN)

Founded in March 2016 by @TinaRwiva, we are a network of #VTE Survivors & Health Advocates who raise public awareness about fatal blood clots (Thrombosis).

What an honour working with these young researchers from @GHA_rwanda Axa, Kimberly and Tessi who are conducting a community project on #thrombosis. Thank you @kfaisalhospital for giving them the opportunity to learn. #knowledgeispower @TinaRwiva @isth @thrombosisday

We were thrilled to welcome learners from @GHA_rwanda, who are undertaking a community awareness project on blood clots. They interacted with healthcare officials to learn more about the diagnosis and treatment of blood clots. #KFHRcares @ClotRwanda @TinaRwiva @dreddiekalimba

Did you know that BLACK PATIENTS are at Higher Risk of Developing #BloodClots @my250tweets @kfaisalhospital @TinaRwiva @RBCRwanda @thrombosisday @isth @StopTheClot #BCAM #MarchIsBloodClotAwarenessMonth

[NBCA @StopTheClot]

Blood clots can affect anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, race or gender. But studies show that they occur differently by race, with Black patients having the highest rates. For blood clot prevention tips: https://t.co/j8gjT69ERu

5 years ago, @ClotRwanda joined the people of Nyamata in Bugesera to talk about #BloodClots @my250tweets
1 in 4 people who have a blood clot in their lungs die without warning. Blood clots are a leading cause of death in people with cancer.

On March 9th 2016, during #BloodClotAwarenessMonth, @ClotRwanda was founded by @TinaRwiva. Even if she went on to suffer from multiple blood clots which she later learnt were due to a condition called #APS, she used her voice to save lives. #KnowledgeIsPower

News: Use of the Johnson & Johnson #COVID19 vaccine is paused due to clotting concerns. NBCA's MASAB continues to stress the importance of vaccination. The reported blood clots are rare, and the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risk of clotting: https://t.co/MFOkbWXFPY
