At Thalassemics India, it is our constant endeavour to work
towards a Thalassemia-free world.
Established in 1986, Thalassemics India was conceived to check and help deal
with Thalassemia. A non-governmental organization, Thalassemics India is working
zealously across the country, operating in close association with doctors,
drug/equipment companies throughout the country and abroad, hospitals,
Thalassemia associations & centers.
An association which was formed by a few Thalassemia parents
in 1986, has now achieved the status of a State Awardee (1998) Organization with
a 1200 strong memberships that include thalassemics, Thalassemia parents,
associations, doctors & social workers.
Thalassemics India is a voting member of Thalassemia International Federation (TIF),
an international body based in Cyprus. It works in close association with the
TIF; an international non-governmental organization collaborating closely with
members of Thalassemia associations worldwide. It is a matter of honour and
pride for Thalassemics India that the present TIF President has been selected
from India.
Among some of the main achievements of the association since its inception are
the establishment of the Thalassemia centers, organization of 3 successful
International Conferences & Workshops, holding of free Thalassemia clinics,
collection of medicines/equipments for free distribution, organization of free
Thalassemia detection camps, collection of funds from India & abroad to help
the underprivileged thalassemic patients towards their treatment &
collaborating closely with important offices & departments at the state and
central level for achieving the goals.
