Abstrakt: Pakistan is populated to approximately 225,633,392 people (225 million). Pakistan's healthcare delivery system is complex due to the presence of both federal and provincial healthcare subsystems. Iron deficiency anemia and co-pathological diseases like - or -thalassemia (Alpha thalassemia, Beta thalassemia characteristics) are the most frequent disorders among microcytic hypochromic anemias. More than 10 million people in Pakistan are carriers of the beta-thalassemia trait; every year, around 5,000 children in Pakistan are identified as being carriers of beta-thalassemia major. Despite the widespread use of blood transfusions, there are no established guidelines for patient care. Families tend to be big, and the majority of the population lives in poverty, thus they cannot afford the high costs associated with caring for a kid with thalassemic disorders. This prospective observational research of thalassemia was carried out in a blood bank in the city of Sukkur in the province of Sindh, Pakistan. The purpose of this research was to determine how common thalassemia is in the sukkur area of Sindh, Pakistan. Blood Bank Sukkur was the site of the whole research, which was led by Sajida Mahmood Gopang and included the efforts of Mazhar Hussain kharal, farhan Ali, Ahsan, Sajjad Hussain, and Zain-ul-Abdin. The research concluded that in order to eradicate thalassemia in Pakistan, health care practitioners should be incentivized to raise awareness of the disease among the general population and treat it as a public health issue.
