Abstract
Thalassaemia is a major health problem in our country and poses a considerable drain on health resources for management of affected children. It is a good candidate disease for control by preventive genetic programmes in India. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a very common occurrence among the population. Accurate population frequency data are needed for planning the control of thalassaemia in various parts of the country especially in the context of high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. Knowledge of the number and proportion of women who carry a haemoglobinopathy and or Fe deficiency in women of child bearing age is required to help haematologists and Government plan and evaluate the effectiveness of services and screening programmes.
