Hi Mdazeem,

I am sorry to hear about this. Actually we have our friend Fahad from Saudi arabia, i will email him and see what he can say about this sitiuation and i will let you know his reply.


I think that situations like this TIF should have a role, shouldn't they??

friends.
i i am also in Saudi Arabia.(Riyadh). i cam to know that in Jeddah BAKSHAN hospital is providing blood transfeusion. also govt. hospitals like king faisal and fahad are now instructed by the Royal orders. that only and only provide blood transfeusion free of cost. other treatment like Irion chelation and etc etc. will not be provided by the govt. also in Makkah King fahad hospital is doing it. this all information is not yet confirmend by me. i got all this information form my friends living in Jeddah.
but in Riyadh i am getting blood transfeusion for my son form MALIK SAUD MEDICAL COMPLEX(Shamissy hospital(old name)) and its free of cost. but iron chelion and other treatment is not covered. pls check all this in jeddah or makkah. otherwise come to riyadh. because in riyadh (SHAMISSAY hospital) it is confirmend that its free of cost. if u need more information pls call me at my office no 01-4741111 ext 319.

I went for Hajj trip last year Alhamdolillah it was a life time event for me. u can read more at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1419

I've been to King Fahad hospital Madinah during my stay there and we were told that everything is free for Pilgrims, they did my LFT, calcium, CBC for free. Alhamdolillah i didn't needed blood transfusion there still transfusion was also told to be free.

Tariq,

Sorry, I guess that's what happens when you come into a thread late and don't read all of it.....

I am glad that you had a good trip!
