Department of Helath of Government of Sindh has issued an advertisement in newspaper on World Thalassemia Day which is as follows:
If you are ignorant to Thalassemia now, your children might pay for it. Thalassemia is a deadly inherited blood disorder; unknowingly passed on by the parents to their children. They look normal and healthy. When both parents are carriers, there is a likely chance that the child may get Thalassemia major, a life threatening anaemia which requires blood transfusion and iron chelation threapy.
Sadly, the procedure can eventually damage the liver and the heart and lead to early death. Get a Thalassemia blood test today and save your next generation!
