BEST  PRACTICE : B

1. Title : Thalassemia Screening  for the Students

2. Objectives :

  • In India, every year 10,000 children are being born with Thalassemia which approximately accounts for 10% of the total world incidence of Thalassemia-affected children and one in eight of  live Thalassemia carriers in India.  The main objective of screening programme is to avert Thalassemia-related deaths in future generations.
  • The programme is aiming at early identification and early intervention  to cover defects at birth, deficiencies, diseases, and development delays including disability.

3. Context:

 Thalassemia Carrier Screening is one of the most effective ways of ensuring that our future generation does not suffer from Thalassemia, a crippling lifelong blood disorder. In severe cases, it can also be fatal, so the screening as well as the diagnosis of this condition is required to minimize the occurrence. The College has decided to sensitize its students about Thalassemia and to arrange Thalassemia Carrier Screening camp for the students every year.

Awareness and Thalassemia Carrier Detection Programme was  held on 26th February , 2020 in association with Institute of Haematology & Transfusion Medicine, Medical College, Kolkata. This was a part of the Carrier Detection Programme of the Govt. of West Bengal for control of Thalassemia Syndrome in the state.

Thalassemia screening test for our students and staff  was organized on 13th August,2022 by Netaji Nagar Day College in association with Rotary club of Calcutta Endeavour, RID 3291 , Nari Shakti Foundation  and Thalassemia Control Unit of School of  Tropical Medicine.

Students and young staff members of the College voluntarily attended the Thalassemia Awareness programme and participated in theThalassemia screening test . Students and faculty members of the Department of Physiology actively took part and helped the medical personalities in collection of  blood sample from the students for the screening. 

5. Evidence of success:

The large number of students who actively took part in screening test and awareness programme is itself an evidence of success. Besides, Rotary Club of Calcutta also  praised the students for their cooperation and the College for arranging such a programme of social importance.

6. Problems & Resources Required:

Time management amidst the ongoing classes for preparation and conducting the screening test is a problem. Some students are unduly apprehensive and hence reluctant to undergo the Thalassemia Screening . A small amount of  Fund allocation is also needed to conduct the whole programme.
