Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Thalassaemia Day is observed every year on May 8 to raise awareness about thalassaemia, a serious inherited blood disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce normal haemoglobin. The condition can result in severe anemia and other health complications. The day aims to increase public understanding of the disorder, promote testing and treatment, and support those affected. The 2025 theme, “Together for Thalassaemia: Uniting Communities, Prioritising Patients,” emphasises the importance of collaboration among medical communities, families, and support organisations to enhance patient care and advance research and policy for better health outcomes.
