@sadis wich doctor or specialist do you go to for checkups regarding thalassemia??
Well, I go to a government operated Thal. center that is running in Holy Family Hospital. As you know with all the government based operations, they hardly give attention to the people. The doctor seldom sees what goes on in the ward. Although he is a nice guy and an expert, but there is no system of regular checkups here in this center. However, he is quite good and knows what he does when you go to his private clinic or if you are lucky enough to find him in his room in the hospital.
This center just provides blood on cooperative basis and that itself is a blessing enough for a government operated service.
I hope you get the picture.
Take care, Peace!
