The Sarawak Thalassaemia Society was formed on 5th February 1994. Initially the Society comprised only of the parents of the thalassaemic children and some medical advisors. Its principal function is as a network of information and mutual support group for the parents and families. In 1995, the Society's membership expanded beyond the patient-parent-medical circle to include non-thalassaemic people.

Objectives

Our primary objectives are:

• To ensure that all thalassaemia patients in Sarawak are accorded full treatment
• To give support to the thalassaemia families
• To create public awareness about thalassaemia

We welcome your views, comments, ideas and suggestions that could help us to help all the thalassaemia patients.
