PROJECTS

Hemoglobal® is working to improve clinical care, including improving the organization and infrastructure within the clinics in which children with blood diseases are treated. We strive to optimize existing treatment, as well as to make more widely available approaches which offer a cure for many children.

We believe that it is important that each child with a serious blood disease receive continuity of care from a dedicated physician and nurse, as well as the social support needed in coping with a chronic illness. In both Sri Lanka and India, and ultimately throughout Asia, the organization of care, including access to care, is critical. Hemoglobal® supports research projects directed to the fundamental understanding of blood disorders.

Ultimately, we work to provide all children, regardless of birthplace, with the opportunities for treatment that are available in higher-income countries.
