A Thalassemia screening desk has been inaugurated at the NADRA centre in Sukkur on Saturday marking a significant step forwards the fight against the genetic disorder.
The desk, established in collaboration with the SBTA and NADRA, aims to provide timely diagnosis, prevention, and awareness about Thalassemia among the public.
The screening desk will offer Thalassemia testing facilities for pre-marital and general health check-ups, enabling early detection and proper guidance for potential patients.
It will also provide information on the causes, transmission, and prevention of Thalassemia, helping to reduce the prevalence of the disease in society.
