Calendar Sales
The 2002 Concorde calendar is being sold at RM30 each, in aid of University Hospital thalassaemia patients' fund. Proceeds from the sale will enable the Thalassaemia Society of University Hospital (THASUH) to purchase Desferoxamine, an expensive drug needed to counteract iron toxicity and delay organ dyfunction caused by the iron accumulation.

Letter From Boston U.
Hello,
I am the Clinical Research Coordinator working with Dr. Susan Perrine at
Boston University in Boston, MA, USA. We are currently enrolling
patients with beta
thalassemia in a research study, sponsored by the National Institutes of
Health, of arginine
butyrate and erythropoietin to increase fetal and total hemoglobin. I
would like to know if you can add a link to your web site so that
patients and physicians could get more information about this project.
We do enroll patients from other countries and this study is open to
patient age 3 and older.
Our web site is as follows:

Goals and Objectives
The Thalassaemia Association of University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur (THASUH) was officially registered with The Registrar of Society on 9th March, 2000.
Provide moral support to all persons with thalassaemia and their families to overcome their emotional and psychological problems. Acceptance and understanding of the disorder is the first step towards improving their wellbeing.
Seek the best management care for all persons with thalassaemia. Families and Medical personnel must ensure treatment is complied with, difficult and uncomfortable as it may be to use the pump and desferal.
Diseminate the latest medical information on thalassaemia to members and their families. Promote public awareness of the disorder through educational programmes on the availability of diagnosis and genetic counselling.
Encourage the public to support activities organised to improve th quality of life for persons with thalassaemia e.g. blood donation campaigns, donation of infusion pumps and desferal etc.
