The theme of the event this year is ”Empowering Lives, Embracing Progress: Equitable and Accessible Thalassaemia Treatment for All.”

With an estimated 100 million people worldwide carrying genes responsible for thalassaemia, and more than 300,000 babies born annually with severe forms of the disease, International Thalassaemia Day is a powerful call to raise awareness about this condition and its impact while celebrating the solidarity of the resilient thalassaemia community worldwide.

80% of these people live in low and middle-income countries and face many and multiple unmet needs and persisting challenges with regards to the health, social and other care they receive.

To get involved :

• Donate to the foundation
• Raise awareness on social media
• Host an event
