No doubt, Thalassemia is a nightmare for most people in Balochistan. As it’s a genetic disease that is caused by marriage within the families. And there are nearly 1,735: cases of Thalassemia Major registered in Quetta. Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic diseases and it is 1.5% of the world population.

Secondly, there are 2,000 children with Thalassemia in Balochistan, and Thalassemia is caused by mutations in the DNA of cells that make hemoglobin. 

Hence, I would like to request the government to arrange a separate organization team for Thalassemia children and do a campaign in which people can donate blood for these children and save their precious life.
