Through the creation of new and the strengthening existing associations, Delegation Visits to countries of need, a multimodal educational programme, networks, partnerships and collaborations with relevant stakeholders, our vision is to ensure equal access to quality health care for every patient with thalassaemia and other haemoglobin disorders across the world.
