About
Thalassemia The Society is run and managed mainly by doctors involved in thalassemia care along with members of the Thalassemic families and other community members supporting the Society. The executive committee is the governing body of the society with president and secretary being the chief functionaries. Thalassemic families, doctors and non thalassemic community form the three pillars of the Society working in close coordination. A Thalassemia Working Group comprising of physicians and scientists was constituted in August 2005 and a comprehensive Thalassemia / Hemoglobinopathies Programme instituted in January 2006 expanding the scope and mission of the Society. In January 2010, the organization further expanded its scope and area of work to include other disorders of public health significance and other health related matters transforming into a healthcare non profit organization with Thalassemia / hemoglobinopathies programme as its flagship programme
