Support for Thalassemia Patients

Dear Generous Donor,

At Kashif Iqbal Thalassemia Care Centre, our commitment to providing free and consistent care to 1,045 thalassemia patients across Sindh remains unwavering. Each child who walks through our doors depends on timely blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy for survival, treatments that are life-saving yet costly.

The Ongoing Struggle    

Pakistan continues to face a growing thalassemia crisis. With over 10 million carriers and 5,000 new cases of thalassemia major each year, the need for treatment and awareness has never been greater. However, our fight has become tougher. Rising medicine prices, irregular blood supply, and limited donor turnout have made it challenging to sustain consistent treatment for our patients.

For children with thalassemia, missing even one transfusion or therapy session can mean serious health complications, from organ damage to severe fatigue, liver failure, or heart problems. Despite these challenges, our team continues to provide uninterrupted care, ensuring no child suffers because of financial barriers.

Your Impact: Hope in Action

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to:

• Provide thousands of life-saving transfusions every month.
• Administer regular iron chelation therapies to prevent iron overload.
• Run awareness campaigns across Sindh, encouraging early diagnosis and premarital screening to prevent future cases.

Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports a child’s treatment, from the blood bag they receive to the medication that keeps their organs safe.

Together, We Can Do More

The path ahead remains steep. The cost of iron chelation therapy continues to rise, and many families still struggle to manage transportation and hospital visits. With your continued generosity, we can:

• Secure steady supplies of life-saving medications.
• Maintain free transfusion and chelation services for every registered patient.
• Expand community education programs to fight thalassemia at its root.

Looking Forward

Our mission is not only to sustain life but also to restore childhood, to let every child with thalassemia dream, play, and grow without fear of missing treatment. Your compassion has already made this possible for hundreds. With your continued help, we can make it possible for thousands more.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Kashif Iqbal Thalassemia Care Centre Trust.
