 We
live in a country, which has limited resources. Thalassemia
needs a life long care. The best treatment for Thalassemia
is prevention and this is the only treatment by which one
can cure this disease. Unfortunately in Pakistan people have
never given attention to this important aspect of the disease.
Building Thalassemia transfusion unit is not the answer it
will not solve the problem. We have to trace the roots of
the disease and identify the carrier of disease as we ignore
the Thalassemia families These are the people we have to educate
and hence we prevent the disease from happening. Secondly
just giving transfusion is of no help they need a quality
of life.
(AMTF) Afzaal Memorial Thalassemia Foundation is basically
working on the roots of this disease which includes following
SAFE
BLOOD TRANSFUSION
PROPER VACCINATION
EMERGENCY CARE
MULTI-SYSTEM-EVALUATION
GENETIC COUNCELLING
PARENTS EDUCATION
NUTRITIONAL REHABLITATION
PREVENTION
FUND RAISING TO SUPPORT THE ABOVE
Afzaal
Memorial Thalassemia Foundation (A.M.T.F) registered with
Government of Pakistan is a joint endeavor of people from
different spheres of life (Doctors, Patients, Parents, Social
Workers, Journalists, Entrepreneurs) converging on one platform
with the ambition of aiding thalassemic patients and their
families in their own special ways
We
believe in providing the optimal standard of care to every
thalassemic child. A.M.T.F believe in providing unconditional
services to every thalassemic patient without any predefined
prejudices against any caste or creed.
