Arpan Thalassemiya Society

The Regular Blood Transfusion program ensures safe, compatible, and timely blood transfusions for patients requiring ongoing care. Specially packed red blood cells (RBCs) are administered to help maintain or increase hemoglobin (Hb%) levels. Depending on a patient’s age, weight, current Hb%, and physical examination, transfusions are scheduled every 2 to 4 weeks. The process is managed by a trained medical team that prioritizes safety and precision. This program plays a vital role in improving the quality of life for patients with chronic blood disorders or related conditions.

To combat the spread of Thalassemia, a genetically inherited yet preventable blood disorder, this program aims to raise awareness among adolescents, families, and communities. Through targeted campaigns in schools, colleges, and rural areas, the initiative educates the public on prevention and treatment. It includes interactive sessions such as quizzes, educative talks supported by PowerPoint presentations, and distribution of informative booklets. The campaign encourages screening among eligible couples and affected families, motivates youth to understand care practices, and empowers children with Thalassemia major to manage complications effectively. Mass media outreach further amplifies the impact.

To combat the rising concern of Thalassemia major in newborns, a focused screening program has been implemented targeting youth aged 18 to 25, especially in the premarital stage. The initiative emphasizes the importance of identifying Thalassemia minor carriers before marriage to reduce the risk of Thalassemia major births. So far, over 52,000 young individuals have been screened. The ultimate goal of the program is to prevent the transmission of Thalassemia and support a Thalassemia-free future. Everyone is encouraged to undergo screening and contribute to this life-saving mission.
