I sincerely hope Ferriscan is available in Pakistan.

Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital / Research centre and Aga Khan Hospital are one of the biggest names in Pakistan. Funding is not much of a problem for them either.

Sylvia, I encourage you to contact them.

Thanks.

Hi Canadian Family and everyone,

Thanks for the info. Yes, I have sent out emails to those 3 haematologists Umair gave me. Well, at least I know 1 out of 3 read my email. (I track my emails so I know if it has been read or not).

I can't "chase" them too aggressively as this might put them off and refuse contact with me or worst, if they delete my email without reading. I will follow up with them in a few days and then weeks....the process can be slow (and painful for some!)

I sincerely ask for all of your patience and if any of you have new contacts, please forward them to me so that I can work on them. I would greatly appreciate an email address to be attached with the contact as email contact is the first step taken in our introduction.

Many thanks for all your supports and I will keep all of you posted on the outcomes.

Sylvia

Hello to all

Attention All Ontario Residents

I'm pleased to inform that FerriScan has been approved and funded by OHIP. Dr Melanie Kirby-Allen & Dr Suzan Williams from the Sick Kids Hospital have submitted funding application on behalf of their patients. We have received the approval from Ontario Ministry of Health and the approved patients would have their FerriScan analyses paid for by OHIP.

Please note that this funding submission must be put forward by the physicians.

For more details, please refer to the Ontario Ministry of Health weblink below:

http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/ohip/outofcountry/phys_outofcountry.html

You may also want to highlight this to your treating physician so that they are aware of the funding availability. Please note that all funding is subject to the Ministry approval. Submission of a prior approval application does not guarantee approval of the requested service(s). Individual patient must be approved before the FerriScan service is rendered.

Attention all Adult Patients in Toronto

After many months of liaising, I am pleased to inform that FerriScan is now setup at Toronto General Hospital.


Please speak with your treating physician or contact the Hospital's Thalassaemia/Sickle Cell Program for more information.

Hi Miss Sylivia :
did you find sucess to make the contact to any official of  Aga khan ( pakistan ) or to any official of thalassemia society of pakistan ?.....

Hello nice friend,

No, I didn't have any results from my emails to Aga Khan. I will keep trying. Our company would be attending the TIF Conference in Singapore in October. Hopefully, we get to meet some of the Pakistani physicians at the conference.

I don't seem to get any good results from emailing physicians in the Middle East regions. Physicians don't reply to email. 1) They don't have regular assess to emails or 2) They are not comfortable exchanging information over email or 3) They don't reply emails to those whom they do not know.

I hope that our presence at the conference would help physicians to understand what we do and how we could work with them.

I am not giving up on this regions yet. They are still on my working list and hopefully, we get to see some results after the conference.

hahaha.... its nice to hear that .... keep trying .... best of luck .... yeah conference is the best idea to meet and convince people about it ...but.... you have to cut down the price  ... otherwise there is 80% chance of loosing this region ...  lets see wat happen ..
Best Regards
Take Care

ATTN All New Zealand Residents

Please be informed that FerriScan is fully reimbursed in New Zealand by the District Health Boards and most private insurers.

Kindly speak to your treating clinicians with regards to having a FerriScan. Please also share this information with your Thalassaemia clinics and local networks.

Feel free to contact me should you need any further information and clarification.

Thank you.

Kind regards
Sylvia

Sylvia,

Are there any plans to bring Ferriscan to Delhi, India?

Hi Andy

Yes, we definitely have plans to setup FerriScan in Delhi. I had a previous discussion with Vikas (a member on the other thal forum) and we had even put forward a proposal to the thal society. He had advised that the society's secretary would get in touch with us, however, no reply so far. Good news is that Vikas is attending the conference in Singapore and hopefully we get a chance to catch up with him and any of the society's committee.

I will keep you posted on the outcomes. If you have a contact in Delhi, you may pass it on to me to contact.

Is T2* and FerriScan the same?
