About Us
The Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Society of Bangalore was founded in 1987, by Mr. G.S Chandok who is also currently the President of the Society.
The Society’s main aim is to bring all facing this medical condition together as one. The Society wants to educate and provide knowledge about Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia to enable all facing this medical condition to live their lives better and give hope for the future. It has facilitated in the past providing the members with medicines like Desferal and also Blood Filters during their time of need.
The Society has facilitated with Blood Banks to provide free and in certain cases discounted blood transfusions. We have also held two big conferences so far to educate about the Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Anaemia condition.
It is of great pride that our Society is one of the founding members of the Thalassaemia International Federation.
