As Sankalp Patrika celebrates six years of publication, we have a good news to share with you. Sankalp Patrika now has an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) - 2455 – 409X.
This eight-digit serial number helps a serial publication get uniquely identified. The number is especially helpful in distinguishing between serials with the same title, ordering, cataloging, and archiving.

Dear Readers,
We are happy to share the 6th volume of Sankalp Patrika with you. We took upon ourselves what seemed to be like a herculean task to prepare a 16 page newsletter every month way back towards the end of 2010.

Thanks to the 10 government holidays, we had tough time accommodating all the children for transfusions. Looking at the workload at the institute together with the institute we are in the process of getting a doctor exclusively for the thalassemia unit. We had a total of 238 patient visits with 304 transfusions. The turnaround time for blood was 3.5 hours and the average patient stay was 7.3 hours.

It's probably for the very first time that the families are being offered HLA typing at their doorsteps.
