National register
Upon assistance of a specific software, ABRASTA knows exactly what are the people bearing thalassemia and professionals involved to the treatment of thalassemia in the country. It makes it easy for recognizing the profile and the needs of this community. Currently, the register gathers the data from 759 patients, 48 relatives, 454 physicians and 379 health professionals.
Patient Schedule
A creative form of encouraging adhesion to the treatment. The schedule, which always brings a message for adhesion to the treatment – such as blood donation, was especially prepared so that the patient may better control his/her care to health. For that, it offers in its pages a checklist of the most important exams, as well as space to schedule the days and times for using the chelating agents and for blood transfusion.
