Hello Mumtaz,
Got some information for you. There is a thalassemia center in King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh.The bad news however is that they don`t register expats. Infact expats cannot avail free treatment in any government hospital in the Kingdom (since jan 2006). If you are able to manage financially or  have insurance coverage then any hospital with a hemetology department will provide treatment. Hope this info helps you.
bye

Would it be possible to cut short the stay in Saudi Arabia for Hajj, i.e. within the transfusion regimen period. Hajj is performed in three days.

Hi everyone,

Fortunately i am also planning t go for hajj this year but for a 20 days stay. Since i usually get transfused in 15-18 days, i can extend it to 20 in this case but since Hajj involves around 5 days of hard restless effort, there are chances that i would need a transfusion there. My parents are also worried in this regard. And i was searching for trasfusion facilities in Makkah and Madinah and came across this info:

I didn't get anything on above hospitals websites regarding transfusion facilities. They do have blood banks though. But as far as i know they are big hospitals there. Uptil now i came accross 3 email addresses and i was thinking of emailing them for guidance.

I would appreciate if anyone else can give some info on this.

We had some discussion for Thalassemia facilities in Saudi Arabia, I am simply providing the link.
