Marriage of two Thalassaemia Minor (Trait) partners can produce a Thalassaemia Major Child in 25 % probability, who would need regular blood transfusions from early age till the ultimate, untimely death.

Community awareness, screening test for marriageable youth, antenatal, & prenatal tests for pregnant mothers can forestall this disorder and prevent its spread to future generations. Circumvention of at risk marriages and averting birth of Thalassaemia Major Children remain crucial for prevention of Thalassaemia.

Recognized as Scientific & Industrial Research Centre (SIRO) by Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, Life Thalassaemia Prevention Centre organizes massive awareness programmes and screening tests, provides counselling and free life support through continual supply of blood to Thalasseamia Major cases.

Pledging to conduct 35000+ screenings tests annually, the Centre continues the crusade for Thalassaemia free society.
