“Know Thalassemia. Act Early. Support Strongly.”

On World Thalassemia Awareness Day, LifeOnPlus stands in solidarity with millions across the globe who live with this inherited blood disorder. It’s a day to raise awareness, encourage prevention, and support those managing the condition with strength and resilience.

What is Thalassemia?

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce healthy hemoglobin. It can lead to:

 Severe anemia

 Growth delays in children

 Fatigue and weakness

 Lifelong dependence on blood transfusions

There are two major types — Thalassemia Major and Thalassemia Minor. Early detection through simple blood tests can prevent severe complications, especially in newborns and during pre-marital or prenatal screenings.

LifeOnPlus – Supporting Families & Fighters

With the Global Digital Health Smart Card, LifeOnPlus helps individuals and families:

 Track medical history, blood test results & transfusion schedules

 Access local and global transfusion centers via GPS

Preventive Steps You Can Take

 Genetic screening for couples planning to have children

 Thalassemia trait test (especially in regions with high prevalence)

Together, We Can Care Better

At LifeOnPlus, we believe no one should walk this journey alone.

We urge:

 Healthcare institutions to adopt digital tools for Thalassemia management

 Employers and schools to promote awareness and regular screening

 Families and caregivers to stay informed and supported with technology

This May 9, let’s build a future where no child suffers from preventable complications.

Let’s empower every warrior with care, technology, and love.
