Project Details

NDML has been extensively working for the cause of Thalassemia by providing comprehensive care to patients who belong to marginalized communities. NDML's interventions include the provision of bed-side Leukocyte Filters and yearly DXA Scan and Cardiac & Liver T2* MRI investigations to underprivileged Thalassemia patients.
