CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: "They didn't treat me any differently" — How Melvin Tan didn't let haemophilia stop him from living an active and purpose-driven life
Melvin Tan was diagnosed with haemophilia when he was 18 months of age. It's a rare condition in which the body lacks the protein to naturally form blood clots — meaning that even a small bleed could potentially become a serious medical situation. But with medical advancements, some precautions, and the support from his family and friends, Melvin has built an active and purpose-driven life. He shares how he's navigated the challenges of the condition and what he'd say in his letter to his younger self.
