7 November, Bangalore: Cure2Children, Italy and Sankalp India Foundation have come together to provide hope for the children suffering from thalassemia by offering HLA typing for the eligible families 'free of charge'. The HLA typing will enable the identification of the families who can opt for a permanent cure from thalassemia.
On a routine visit to the Thalassemia Day Care Centre at IGICH today I came across a distressing piece of news. The Doctors told me that one of the child who was coming to the day care for a few weeks now has been sent back home from the ICU. The look on the faces of the doctors told me that it was no reason to celebrate. Even as they acknowledged the little help that was offered to take care of the expenses on the medical tests that had to be outsourced, what followed was completely shocking!
For many reasons, the district of Gulbarga has very poor performance when it comes to Voluntary Blood Donation.
Zinda rehne ke mausam bahut hain magar, Jaan dene ki rut roz aati nahi.
Husn aur ishq dono ko ruswa kare, Wo jawani jo khoon me nahati nahi.
Aaj dharti bani hai dulhan saathiyon, Ab tumhare hawale watan saathiyon…
