Kech Thalassemia Blood Bank (KTTB) requires blood after every decade. A great number of Thalassemia patients(children) in Kech Thalassemia need blood. Thalassemia centers are those which provide blood to patients who are suffering from thalassemia. A report shows that 1 lac patients are suffering from Thalassemia and every year 5000 babies are born with this lethal disease. It is a disease that damages the organs and takes the patient to the valley of death. It is woeful that Thalassemia would live up to the age of 25 years. Good facilities will help them to live up to 60 years, but it is woeful that Kech Thalassemia is facing difficulties in getting blood. People are the only sources of blood and they get blood by conducting blood donation camps. Sadly, KTTB requires blood which is the hope of 

            Thalassemia patients because they regularly need blood for a living. Kech Thalassemia Blood Bank (KTTB) was established in February 2020. Unfortunately, it is not getting financial assistance from the government. But the workers are working themselves for collecting blood so that they keep the patients alive. Some patients need blood after every 5 or 6 days. Therefore, I request the people to take part in blood donation camps because you can save a precious life. Try to give blood to Thalassemia patients for the sake of God. KTTB alone cannot bear these expenses and we can help them. It is high time to donate blood to Thalassemia patients who are waiting for our blood.
