In fact, blood in our body is not just a fluid, but is a part of the most important system of life. The work of delivering oxygen to every part of the body is done by hemoglobin, which is present in red blood cells. But when the body is not able to produce hemoglobin in sufficient quantity, then a serious disease like thalassemia occurs. This is why World Thalassemia Day is celebrated every year on 8 May, so that people can be made aware of this genetic blood disorder and the importance of timely testing and prevention can be explained.

Let us tell you that Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder, which is passed from parents to children through genes. In this disease, the body is not able to produce hemoglobin in normal quantity, due to which the red blood cells start dying rapidly and the patient becomes a victim of anemia. In severe cases, the patient has to undergo regular blood transfusions throughout his life.
