Thalassemics India “Helping Hands” project is to help underprivileged patients with thalassemia in their treatment. Since the launch of this project in 2000, TI has touched thousands of lives of people living with thalassemia in thousands. Free of cost iron chelation medicines, blood leucocyte filters, infusion pumps are given to the most needy patients across the county. Check-up clinics are held to review such patients before further medical support is given to them.

Thalassemics India “Spreading Smiles “ project is to bring joy to our thalassemia patients. Our events and programmes aim to lift spirits and spread smiles. Through our activities, we offer opportunities for patients and families to meet and get together.
This project is aimed to see our country free from Thalassemia. From 1990 onwards, Thalassemics India has been organizing thalassemia screening camps and conducting awareness talks in schools, colleges, corporate and at other places. Awareness drives are conducted by putting hoardings on road at prominent places for community awareness.
Moving forward, Thalassemics India joined hands in 2020 with IRCS in connection with Thalassemia Screening Programme under an MOU to start thalassemia screening at the IRCS headquarter, New Delhi. The centre was formally inaugurated by the former Health Minister, Dr. Harsh Vardhan on 18 August 2020.
