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.
