Most people think Thalassaemia is about a child who is Thalassaemia Major and who needs life-long blood transfusions for survival. While this is true, Thalassaemia is more importantly about two healthy youngsters who did not know that they were Thalassaemia Minor. Awareness amongst youngsters of the fact that they could be Thalassaemia Minor even if they are healthy can prevent Thalassaemia Major.
