International Thalassemia Day was observed in Bangladesh as elsewhere in the world with a view to raise awareness on Thalassemia. A number of organizations held discussions, seminars, rallies, and voluntary blood donation program across the country on the occasion of the day. Thalassaemia affects more then 7% of Bangladesh's population today which means roughly 11.2 million Bangladeshi are thalassemia carriers. It is estimated that about 7,483* children are born with the disease every year with expected 3,74,154* living patients.This year the day was marked by joint programs arranged by different organizations working on thalassemia. The association of Bangladesh Thalassemia Foundation and Hematology Society of Bangladesh with an aim to promote “Standard and Quality Care” among the physicians and patients is first time ever in Bangladesh and will have a great impact in the field of thalassemia care in the country. Another important progress was made by involvement of the telecommunication giant Grameenphone in the event by patronizing Bangladesh Thalassemia Society.

We have got a new computer as kind donation from Ashfaque Memorial Fund. Dr Syeda Masooma Rahman on behalf of The Fund handed over the computer at our office on May 22, 2007. With increased volume of correspondence and workload at our office we felt the need of a computer which is fulfilled with this donation. We are thankful to Dr Masooma for choosing us for the donation.The Ashfaque Memorial Fund usually contributes in places where patients directly get the benefit. Their immediate past donation was a fine ophthalmoscope to the Unit 3 of Department of Medicine, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka. The fund was originally organized to support the bone marrow transplantation of Ashfaque Hossain, a bright medical student of 11th batch of Sher-e-Bangla Medical College, Barishal who had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
