World Thalassemia Day is celebrated every year on the 8th of May to commemorate the Thalassemia victims and to encourage all those around the world who struggle to live their lives with the disease. Ziqitza Healthcare explains that Thalassemias are blood disorders that are largely inherited and are characterised by decreased production of haemoglobin and lesser amount of normal blood cells. People who suffer from thalassemia have at least one parent as the carrier of the disease.
