SAVIOUR SIBLING PROGRAMME (SSP) A New Lifeline – A Brand New Hope
Couples with autosomal dominant or recessive disorders have a significant chance of conceiving a pregnancy that has serious genetic consequences. Beta thalassaemia is one such disorder that is endemic in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
Thalassaemia, in general, constitutes a public health problem in Malaysia. It is estimated that 350 babies are born each year in this country with blood transfusion dependent thalassaemia major.

Loss of education, employment, depression and despair add to their miseries. (more…)
