In the last quarter of 2024, thalassemia prevention coordinators from across India took part in a series of valuable training sessions. In Maharashtra, the focus was on building confidence, with role-playing exercises that helped coordinators improve their counseling skills. In Madhya Pradesh, coordinators worked together to align their goals and gained a clearer understanding of thalassemia prevention, enhanced by a visit to the BMT unit.
The sessions in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka gave experienced coordinators a chance to sharpen their skills and collaborate with others. In Gujarat, coordinators filled in knowledge gaps, and a visit to the Ahmedabad Day Care Centre helped deepen their empathy. These sessions helped strengthen teamwork, improve skills, and renewed commitment to thalassemia prevention.
