Join Us in the Fight Against Thalassemia
Support Our Awareness and Free Carrier Screening Program by contributing ideSHi’s Benevolent Fund for the Underprivileged (BFU)
At ideSHi, we are committed to making Bangladesh a global leader in biomedical sciences and translational research. One of our key initiatives is the Thalassemia Awareness and Free Carrier Screening Program, which is dedicated to educating communities about Thalassemia, its consequences, and the importance of carrier screening.
Why Thalassemia Awareness Matters?
Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder that affects many families in Bangladesh. Without proper awareness and screening, individuals may unknowingly pass the Thalassemia gene to their children, leading to severe health complications. By raising awareness and providing free carrier screening tests, we can help families make informed decisions and prevent the spread of this debilitating disease. There are estimated 60,000-70,000 patients are suffering from thalassemia and 2500 thalassemia major cases are added in Bangladesh every year. And, unknowingly and unwittingly they are contributing to the spread of the disease by marrying another carrier. The carriers are otherwise normal individuals.
Our Approach
- Public Talks and Workshops: We organize monthly public talks and workshops to educate communities about Thalassemia, its genetic transmission, and health implications.
- Informational Materials: We distribute brochures, posters, and flyers to raise awareness about the condition and the importance of carrier screening.
- Free Carrier Screening Tests: We provide free Thalassemia carrier screening tests to individuals, focusing on high-risk populations. Early identification of carriers is crucial for effective family planning and disease prevention.
Together, we can create a healthier future for Bangladesh. Your support can change lives and make a lasting impact. Join us in the fight against Thalassemia. Donate now and be a part of this vital cause.
