Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The project aims at improving local knowledge about thalassemia and leukemia, as well as increasing the number of blood donors in the project area.
Project Message
Thalassemia patients need regular access to more blood than currently available in this facility. With this project, we hope to increase blood donations to meet the demand for transfusions.
