Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder whereby the bone marrow is unable to form sufficient amount of red blood cells, therefore, the affected child needs regular blood transfusions. Nearly 6,000 children are diagnosed with thalassemia major every year in Pakistan, out of which 60% to 70% succumb to Hepatitis B or C and die before reaching 10. This  is most common in inter-family marriages (customary in lower-class) and therefore, 90% of such children belong to low-income group families.
