Blood transfusions every 15 days…
Are you the reason your child will suffer this?
30 million people suffering from Thalassaemia in India !!!

Support SAATH to help children suffering from Thalassaemia
HELP YOURSELF BECOME AWARE ABOUT THE DISEASE

How many of YOU know, whether you are Thalassaemia Minor or not? Do you have same information about spouse?

If both the parents are carriers of Thalassaemia, they have a 25% chance of "passing down" a serious form of disease i.e. THALASSAEMIA MAJOR where their child shall require blood transfusion throughout his life. Do we know, that our child could require blood transfusion throughout his life, just because we, an educated segment of the society, do not know enough?

After helping the girl, Sujata understood the intensity of Thalassaemia and also the unawareness involved. She had found a cause which the philanthropist in her was always searching for.
