The Thalassemia Jagruti foundation is an organization committed to the cause of prevention of Thalassemia in the society . We like to believe that we are continuously striving ,with our sincere efforts, to help create a Thalassemia Free World for All.

Thalassemia Major is a dreaded fatal disease of children, wherein the child needs to be transfused blood at regular intervals after the age of just 1 year. The management of such a child is such a traumatic experience both for the child & the family and the cost involved is tremendous and financially shattering. Thalassemia Major disease happens to only children whose both parents are Thalassemia Minors. Minors are themselves absolutely normal and do not suffer any ailment nor do require blood. But if two Minors marry their children could be Thalassemia Major. Just by preventing the marriage between two minors, we can have a society free of Thalassemia Major children, which also affects the economy of the country in a big way.

This is precisely what we want to achieve and to this end our organization is working hard to create Mass Awareness in the Society regarding the urgent need of prevention. An age-old adage "Prevention is better than Cure" applies here very appropriately. Also it is very cost effective.
