  • Organized Thalassemia Awareness programs in 20 schools and colleges in three different ways –
  • Thalassemia Awareness Workshop – In this, Dr. Rajesh Bansal, renowned pathologist delivered lecture on thalassemia in a interactive manner in 12 schools of Indore.

4) Establishment of Thalassemia DAY CARE CENTER in Government Children Hospital (Chacha        Nehru Hospital). In 2003 by sustained efforts made by group members with support from Shri Digvijay     Singh, ex Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, a fixed ward was marked to admit thalassemia patients in     this hospital. This ward was converted into well equipped day care center by our NGO. We provided     complete  infrastructure including 2 air conditioners, refrigerator, beds with mattresses, waiting chairs,     lockers, fans, TV stands, bed sheets, water utensils, exhaust fans, water cooler etc. This was made     possible by support from regular and donor members and also general public. During 3 years of our     work, we also organized regular camps in this ward. At the end of 3rd year of our work,  this was     handed over to the government for management.
5) Medicines for thalassemic patients – 202 patients from the entire state are registered with us. We give      them medicines – kelfar and desirox, despharol injections at reduced rate, also arrange blood tests at      highly discounted rates at pathologies registered with our organization.
