Thalassemia is a deadly genetic disorder in which child gets blood to transfuse every 3-4 weeks for the whole life. Every year 12000 children are born with thalassemia ( we are the largest thalassemia children producer in the world ) and around 50% of them are not able to celebrate their 5th birth day. the main cause behind it is only our ignorance ( dont wait for our governmnent to come forward ).
The easiest way to retard the birth rate of thalassemia children is one has to go for thalassemia screening before the MARRIAGE or the horoscope matching. In this process youth can play a good role , If they insists for the thalassemia screening the birth rate can be easily lowered down. Cyprus is an example where the birth rate is ZERO ( earlier they were top thalassemia children producer in the world ). Our youths can play and must play the lead role.
