1 January 2011 - Thalassemia Society visit again

We returned with PDG Vasant Vora to see the remarkable work being done in a small building by a dedicated group.

I am speaking here with Dr Suman Jain.

There is a worldwide problem with Thalassemia and Sickle Cell and in Hyderabad there was no help for children who need regular blood transfusions to keep them alive.
PDG Vora helped to set up this wonderful clinic when he lost a son to the disease some years ago.

It was heartbreaking to see these children and their worried parents but there is consolation when seeing the work being done to help them.
