This Year’s Focus

The Power of International Thalassaemia Day

With an estimated 100 million people worldwide carrying genes responsible for thalassaemia, and more than 300,000 babies born annually with severe forms of the disease, International Thalassaemia Day is a powerful call to raise awareness about this condition and its impact while celebrating the solidarity of the resilient thalassaemia community worldwide.

Our focus for 2024 is unambiguous: to advocate for a world where every person with thalassaemia, no matter their location or economic circumstance, has equal access to proper diagnosis, existing and future treatment options, and well-rounded disease care.
