TAKE ACTION
As a student
Talk to your friends, family about the HPLC test for any abnormal HBG traits, support the awareness of thalassemia as a genetic disorder that is completely preventable at your college events, share it on social media.
We can each contribute to creating awareness on haemoglobin disorders, thus preventing the incidence of thalassemia, sickle cell and other disorders.
At your workplace
Share the importance of testing, encourage blood donation drives, testing in your office premises, support NGOs working in the area of blood donation and care for children with thalassemia.
As an influencer or active blogger
Write about how India needs to take forward awareness and the test for abnormal HBG traits, the drain on resources for families and the government, as we are the nation with the highest number of Thalassemia major children born annually, support antenatal testing. Write about organisations working to ensure safe blood and working with children from vulnerable families with thalassemia.
