Have you checked your Beta Thalasemia carrier status before marriage? (Especially if you belong to a high risk community like Sindhi, Punjabi, Kutchhi, Lohana, tribals or neo-buddhists etc)
It's painful to see birth of a thalasemia major child who will need lifelong blood transfusion every month besides other lifelong medications. While bone marrow transplant can cure many of them all these treatments are painful and expensive. I have seen families getting ruined and young parents struggling for life looking after these unfortunate patients.
So while we do care for those who are born with thalasemia major in spite of our efforts to prevent it, let's pledge to make India free from birth of a single child with thalasemia major by matching our blood reports rather than janam-kundli before marriage!!
