Our Work

Ujjwal Thalassemia Brochure

We redesigned informational brochures on the intricacies of Thalassemia in order to spread awareness amongst underserved populations and encourage preventative testing. We distributed these re-designed brochures among young girls from marginalized communities during the check up camps organised under the project.

Camp 1: Walkeshwar Medical Centre

On 16th March 2025, we organized an outreach camp that drew 82 participants from the local community in South Mumbai. Of these, 29 showed abnormal parameters and were tested for thalassemia; 2 tested positive and were referred for further care. Moreover, we distributed redesigned brochures and led community Q&A sessions with a medical volunteer team.

Camp 2: SMES Girls’ College

On 29th March 2025, we also conducted a targeted awareness and testing camp at SMES Girls’ College, Mumbai. In collaboration with the National Thalassemia Welfare Society (NTWS), we e-distributed redesigned brochures electronically to over 5,000 students. A senior doctor affiliated to the Society led a medical session for 250 students on genetic inheritance and early detection. Following the session, 247 students underwent CBC testing; 100 underwent HB screening and 8 tested positive for thalassemia. All reports were processed through a partnered lab in Mumbai, with results verified from the NTWS and then shared confidentially with each participant.

Camp 3: Prem Nagar

In April 2025, we organized a follow-up awareness and testing camp in Mumbai to reach previously unreached participants. We set up an informational booth, distributed updated brochures, and offered free blood testing in collaboration with a medical diagnostics team. The camp engaged 39 individuals, 7 underwent HB screening and 2 tested positive for thalassemia, continuing our mission to provide early screening and personalized awareness on thalassemia and anemia in urban communities.

Camp 4: Goregaon Medical Camp

On 20th April 2025, we organized a medical camp in Goregaon that reached 92 individuals. Of these, 25 underwent HB screening; 2 tested positive—one for beta thalassemia and one for sickle cell disease. Alongside screenings, participants received informational brochures and medical counselling sessions.

Camp 5: SMES Girls College Follow Up Camp

On July 26 2025, we organized a follow-up awareness and testing camp at the SMES college to reach previously unreached participants. This follow-up camp engaged 212 participants, with 19 undergoing HB screening; 6 tested positive for thalassemia. In addition, we set up an information booth, distributed updated brochures, and provided medical consultations to ensure continued awareness and detection.

Camp 6: SNDT Churchgate

On 9 and 10 September 2025, we organized a large-scale awareness and testing camp at SNDT College, Churchgate. A total of 548 participants underwent CBC testing, while 59 participants were further screened for HPLC. Out of these, 18 individuals tested positive for Beta Thalassemia.
