Global Thalassaemia Review
Introduction
The first-ever TIF-developed Global Review of Thalassaemia is a fact!
The Global Thalassaemia Review was put together by TIF, in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), as a collection of independent reports, to document the existing situation with thalassaemia across the world in the context of the various components of public health, clinical, and social services, which are deemed essential for patients’ survival and wellbeing.
This video briefly introduces the Review’s key objectives and findings, highlighting the huge heterogeneity and inequality that people affected by thalassaemia still encounter in terms of access to quality healthcare services in many countries across the world.
