Dhaka: A free thalassaemia carrier screening and awareness camp was held jointly by First Security Islami bank Ltd and Institute for Developing Science and health Initiatives (ideSHi) recently at Rohinga Camp (Camp-13) in Cox's Bazar.
Thalassemia is a deadly disease that is transmitted through parents. Thalassemia can be prevented if one thalassemia carrier does not marry another thalassemia carrier. That is why, it is important for every person who are planning to marry to have a thalassemia test.
Dr Firdausi Qadri, Laureate of Ramon Magsaysay Award 2021 and Lead, Institute for Developing Science and Health Initiatives, Syed Waseque Md Ali, Managing Director, First Security Islami Bank Ltd and Ahmad Zobayer Mahdi, Operations Director, HMBD Foundation were present at the programme, among others.
