Minister of State for Health Dhunya Maumoon calls on thalassemia patients to be more attentive about their health.
She made the statement at the inaugural function of a workshop for thalassemia patients titled 'Rescue Yourself'. Dhunya noted the progress Maldives has made in the past in increasing public awareness about thalassemia and in thalassemia control. She also noted efforts to provide healthcare for thalassemia patients using modern resources. Noting that thalassemia patients always need to be cautious about their health, Dhunya urged participants of the workshop not to be negligent.
'Rescue Yourself' was a workshop that targets thalassemia patients above 12 years of age. The one day workshop was organized by Maldives Blood Services.
