While talking to media, a doctor from the prominent hospital of the city said, continue unavailability of blood could leads to a number of deaths of children in Thalassemia. Timely blood supply can help improve life expectancy and the quality of lives of patients suffering from thalassemia and it also help to support complex medical and surgical procedures as well.
According to an estimated medical survey, Pakistan has a high burden of thalassemia and according to estimates, 5000 children are born with thalassemia each year and 70,000 patients are registered with the disease. Most services for these patients are provided by private blood transfusion services by non-governmental organizations. Over 90 per cent of total blood transfused in Pakistan is donated by the friends and relatives of patients. Around 10-20 per cent of blood supply is still donated by professional donors. Pakistan’s annual blood transfusion requirement is approximately 1.5 million bags, with the 40 per cent of the demand being met by the public sector.
