200 donate blood for thalassaemic children
Chandigarh, May 8
Karan (8), Amit (7), Gaurav (7) and Goldy (10) are like any other normal children of their age. They, however, suffer from a chronic genetic disease — thalassaemia — which requires them to have blood transfusions at frequent intervals to survive.
And for them and others like them treatment is not only tortuous but also painful and very costly.
Thalassaemic children share some joyous moments at a blood donation camp in the PGI, Chandigarh, on Tuesday.
