Sankalp India Foundation proudly launched the Sankalp Hemoglobinopathy Academy for Learning (SHeAL), a pioneering initiative dedicated to training professionals in hemoglobinopathy prevention, management, and care.
The first program was a 4-day Orientation for Prevention Centre Coordinators from March 19–22, 2025, at Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital, Bangalore. It marked the beginning of a series of impactful training sessions under SHeAL, to develop highly skilled, intent-driven professionals.
Coordinators gained firsthand experience at Sankalp’s Thalassemia Day Care Centre, Blood Centre, and Labs, witnessing the impact of early detection and quality comprehensive care.
The training covered thalassemia prevention, patient registration, data management, compassionate counseling, and more. A key highlight was the hands-on sessions in blood sample collection, fetal screening, and follow-ups, ensuring real-world expertise.
Armed with this knowledge, coordinators are now ready to lead life-saving prevention efforts.
