International Thalassemia Day 2015

FAiTh President Ayesha Mehmood was invited as a guest speaker by Hope Of Life on 8th May 2015 for seminar on thalassemia awareness at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Bahawalpur.

After seminar she visited thalassemia ward at Bahawalpur Victoria Hospital, met patients & parents there.. spent some time with them and shared information / knowledge among them about how to manage life with thalassemia.

It was saddening to see the condition of patients there, not even a single hematologist was there, 3 to 4 kids were on each bed and sadly patient & parent both had almost no knowledge about thalassemia. Not even about hemoglobin & ferritin

Blood Drive and Screening Camp – 26th December 2010

FAiTh celebrated New Year and Quaid-e-Azam anniversary by conducting Blood Drive and Screening Camp on 26th December 2010 at Kashif Iqbal Thalassaemia Care Centre (KITCC)

25 people decided to attend the event, all of them were tested for Thalassemia, 5 were suspected, 1 has been confirmed as Thalassemia Minor, 16 people donated blood and not to forget all the donors were cleared with diseases like HbsAg, HCV, HIV, VDRL & MP!

We sure these people would have started New Year with a satisfaction that they are aware of their Thalassemia status! 🙂

We would like to specially thank PYR Karachi Chapter to be the part of event, to support our cause, in short for everything 🙂

Thalassemia Awareness & Its Prevention Seminar – 21st October 2010

Special thanks to our speakers Dr. Tahir Shamsi (Hematologist – National Institute of Blood Disorders), Dr. Waseem and Mr. Muhammad Iqbal (Kashif Iqbal Thalassaemia Care Centre (KITCC)) for sparing their precious time.

As the seminar hall could cater 150 students at a time we decided to do two sessions, so that more students can get benefited by the teachings and we tried our best to stream the seminar live so that our online visitors can also see and learn..

A very special thanks to Shoaib Alam and Seminar Committee, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Karachi!
