Welcome to the 2024 ASH Annual Report

Global Commitment: Conquering Blood Diseases Worldwide

"ASH has always been dedicated to the pursuit of supporting hematologists to help conquer blood diseases, and I saw those efforts firsthand throughout my time as ASH President when I traveled to nine countries. I met the tireless clinicians who make the Consortium on Newborn Screening in Africa (CONSA) possible. I shook hands with trainees and researchers who represent the future of hematology. I stood in the halls of the U.S. Capitol to advocate for individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD). It has been an incredible year, and we’ve made important progress in supporting hematologists worldwide."
