Dr Layal Issa, a haematologist, explains what thalassemia is, how thalassemia major is inherited, and why early testing, premarital screening, safe blood transfusions, iron-chelating medication and regular follow-up are essential. In Syria, 5% of the population has the thalassemia trait. Getting tested and seeking early medical consultation can help families make informed decisions and improve quality of life for people living with thalassemia. #Thalassemia #BloodDisorder #Anaemia #HealthAwareness #PremaritalScreening #DoctorsWithoutBorders Follow us: Facebook: https://facebook.com/doctorswithoutborders.apac Instagram: https://instagram.com/doctorswithoutborders.apac/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MSF_APAC LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/doctorswithoutborders-apac Website: https://doctorswithoutborders-apac.org/
