About Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces an abnormal or reduced amount of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Due to defective hemoglobin production, red blood cells are destroyed faster than normal, leading to anemia.
Thalassemia is a lifelong condition that requires proper medical care and monitoring.
