About the Publishers:

THALASSAEMIA INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION

Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) is a non-profit, non-governmental,

patient-driven organisation founded in 1986 with headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus.

TIF's mission is to secure equal access to quality health care for every patient with

thalassaemia across the world. TIF has been working in official relations with the

World Health Organnisation (WHO) since 1996, and its educational programme

includes a wide range of publications, workshops and conferences at local and

international levels for patients, carers, health professionals, and the general public.

This book has been created with a lot of love for the children with thalassaemia

who need to understand their condition, accept it, and draw strengh from this

knowledge to build a better future for themselves.
