Thalassaemia in the Americas | New TIF White Paper Calls for Coordinated Action and Equity in Care
The Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) has released a new White Paper, ‘Thalassaemia in the Americas: Status, Challenges, and Ways Forward’, marking a significant step toward strengthening regional understanding and response to thalassaemia across the continent.
Developed in the context of the 1st TIF Pan-American Conference on Thalassaemia and Other Haemoglobin Disorders, held in Washington, D.C. in July 2025, this publication provides the first region-wide, evidence-based overview of thalassaemia in the Americas. It examines key dimensions of care, including epidemiology, health-system readiness, prevention strategies, blood safety, iron overload management, access to MRI monitoring, and the availability of multidisciplinary care.
