Get your partner and yourself tested for the Thalassemia trait!

There are roughly 6 crore people in India who carry the Thalassemia trait. Since the trait doesn't impact them directly, most of them are unaware of this.

If two people carrying the Thalassemia trait get married, there is a 25% chance that their children will have the dangerous Thalassemia Major disease.

Children affected by Thalassemia seldom live beyond 40. Their lives are continuously dependent on blood transfusions and medication.

It is thus advised that people about to get married should take a simple blood test and ensure that both the partners are not carrying the Thalassemia trait.
