Sponsor a Thalassemia Patient
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder. It reduces the amount of hemoglobin in a human body, leading to anemia. Deficiency or a lesser count of red blood cells, or too little hemoglobin in the blood, is ‘Anemia’ - which simply means a shortage of blood. If the anemia is mild, it does no harm but if it is severe, the person becomes ill and will need a regular blood transfusion, as the tissues do not have sufficient oxygen to perform their functions
