Thalassemia<\/span><\/b> is an <\/span>inherited blood disorder<\/span><\/b> that affects the body\u2019s ability to produce healthy <\/span>red blood cells<\/span><\/b> and <\/span>hemoglobin<\/span><\/b>, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. This condition leads to <\/span>severe anemia<\/span><\/b>, causing fatigue, pale skin, weakness, and in children, delayed growth. Without proper treatment, it can result in serious complications like <\/span>organ damage<\/span><\/b>, infections, and even <\/span>heart failure<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>Pakistan<\/span><\/b>, where access to healthcare is limited, the impact of thalassemia is overwhelming. Every year, nearly <\/span>5,000 children are born with this condition<\/span><\/b>, creating both financial and emotional challenges for families.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thalassemia is one of the most common <\/span><\/span>genetic blood disorders<\/span><\/span> in Pakistan, yet the healthcare system struggles to support patients.
