Description
Children’s Thalassaemia Foundation (CTF) was founded in 1993 by a group of medical professionals, parents of patients, and charitable members of the community. For over 25 years, the Foundation has sought to raise public awareness of Thalassaemia in Hong Kong. It strives to improve the quality of life of Thalassaemia patients and works to eradicate the disorder through treatment and prevention. The Foundation contributes towards the financing of medical research as well as organising medical exchange symposiums. The Foundation also works closely with doctors to make sure patients and their parents are kept informed and involved in treatment decision along with appropriate counselling. The Foundation has made significant inroads in fulfilling its objective. This has not been possible without the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of its members. But the road is long and there much more work needs to be done.
