ABRASTA's goals are:

  • To disseminate information on Thalassaemia to health professionals in our country to help them establish an earlier diagnosis and also start a preventive treatment with couples that are planning to raise a family.
  • To support adequate treatment, indicating and referring patients to appropriate treatment, offering support so that monitoring tests are carried out regularly (ultra-sound, echocardiography, iron measurements, sugar, hormones and others).
  • To give support to the families after the diagnosis is established, supplying information and clarifications, psychological, legal and emotional support.
  • To incentive blood donations.
  • To contribute to keep thalassaemia health professionals updated, so that we have the best possible treatment available in the country.
