Iron chelation therapy is essential for those who have been receiving regular blood transfusions, such as in cases of thalassemia and sickle cell anemia . Since iron overload is a significant factor contributing to the early death of patients including children in Nepal. Iron chelator therapy is not simply affordable for average Nepalese people and many of the patiants are not taking iron chelators.
In reality, there are thousands of children who require this therapy, and so far we have been regularly supporting five children in Dang district, western part of Nepal.
We hope to extend their lifespan and enlarge the support in larger population with your assistance.
