On 8 May 2025, the global thalassaemia community will unite in solidarity to mark International Thalassaemia Day. This year, we proudly embrace the theme:
“Together for Thalassaemia: Uniting Communities, Prioritising Patients”
Guided by the powerful slogans #WeAre1 and #PatientsFirst, we reaffirm our collective commitment to ensuring that individuals living with thalassaemia are not just seen but truly heard, valued, and placed at the heart of healthcare policies and practices.
Seeing the Individual, Not Just the Condition
Thalassaemia is more than a clinical condition– behind every statistic is a person with unique experiences, aspirations, and challenges. Too often, the human element gets overshadowed by medical complexities.
This year, we call for a patient-centred approach, where care extends beyond treatment to encompass holistic well-being, dignity, and empowerment.
By standing together as a united global community, we can drive meaningful change, ensuring that the needs, rights, and voices of individuals with thalassaemia are not only recognised but actively prioritised.
This International Thalassaemia Day, Let’s:
✔ Redefine the focus – placing patients at the very core of thalassaemia care.
✔ Envision a future where individuals with thalassaemia are empowered and supported by a community that is as united as it is diverse.
