In an effort to raise awareness about thalassemia, the Command Hospital and Transfusion Centre of the Eastern Command, in observance of World Thalassemia Day, organized a comprehensive seminar on the importance of ante-natal screening for pregnant women.
The seminar focused on early diagnosis and effective management of thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder.
In conjunction with the seminar, a voluntary blood donation camp was held at the Blood Donation Centre, CHEC, where 40 individuals, including serving soldiers and civilians, donated blood.
This effort supports the ongoing needs of 38 children with thalassemia who receive regular monthly blood transfusions at the centre.
Adding a creative touch to the day, a drawing competition was organized for the children receiving treatment, aimed at motivating them and enriching their day with fun and creativity.
The event underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to healthcare initiatives and community support, living up to their motto We Care.
