Facts
- 8 out of 10 people with thalassaemia across the world are unaware that they have the mutated gene that causes the disease and that they could have a child with a severe form of thalassaemia, if their partner is also a carrier of the disease.
- More than half a million children are expected to be born with thalassaemia and other haemoglobin disorders worldwide by 2030.
