Haemophilia patients staged a protest here today, demanding that free medication in government hospitals.

They complained about the unaffordable treatment — nearly Rs 15,000 per day, per patient, which is beyond the reach of poor. Haemophilia, a genetic blood disorder, requires regular anti-haemophilia injections to prevent internal bleeding. These injections are not a one-time treatment but a recurring necessity, and their absence poses a grave risk to patients’ lives.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
