Thalassaemia is a genetic blood disorder commonly characterized by the abnormal production of haemoglobin in the body. The abnormality results in improper oxygen transport and destruction of red blood cells. It has wide-ranging effects on the human body like iron overload, bone deformities and in severe cases can cause heart diseases. The disease has no cure and people living with thalassaemia require regular blood transfusions as an effective measure to prolong life.

While the number of thalassaemics is growing in India, the effort to provide patients better health care is largely spearheaded by the private sector and non-governmental organisations. Over 1,00,000 patients across the country die before they turn 20 due to lack of access to treatment. The first case of thalassaemia in India was reported in 1938 and every year 10,000 children with thalassaemia major are born in India.
