Vision
Each thalassemia patient should receive appropriate and adequate care and management irrespective of their financial status with the goal of restoring the quality and normalcy of their life.
About the Program
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder the individuals suffering from which do not produce blood. They depend on blood transfusions throughout their life. With proper care and treatment, the patients can live a near-normal life.
However, most individuals suffering from thalassemia die before celebrating their 18th birthday. There are 60,000 individuals with thalassemia major in India and 10,000 new births each year. Cost on the management of thalassemia in private setup is estimated upwards from Rs 1,00,000/- per year in India. Because of high costs of management, inadequate care and management, lack of focus on treatment, and inappropriate treatment, these children lose the battle against the disease at an early age.
Sankalp Program for Thalassemia Management offers end-to-end management of thalassemia to each child in need. We have woven a network of centers across the country for this purpose.
