Thalassemia is a significant health concern in India, affecting a large number of individuals and families.
As a hereditary blood disorder, thalassemia requires constant medical attention and a comprehensive health care strategy to manage and minimize its effects.
According to TPAG, despite advances in medical science and initiatives being taken for its management, many thalassemia patients still face challenges due to lack of awareness, timely diagnosis and adequate treatment facilities.
It states that increased awareness and focused initiatives can significantly improve the quality of life of people affected by this disorder.
TPAG also urged the Minister to consider several actions like access to safe blood, job guarantee under RPWD Act 2016, parity with Sickle Cell Anemia Prevention Program and indigenous gene therapy for complete cure.
