Hello to all
Attention All Ontario Residents
I'm pleased to inform that FerriScan has been approved and funded by OHIP. Dr Melanie Kirby-Allen & Dr Suzan Williams from the Sick Kids Hospital have submitted funding application on behalf of their patients. We have received the approval from Ontario Ministry of Health and the approved patients would have their FerriScan analyses paid for by OHIP.
Please note that this funding submission must be put forward by the physicians.
For more details, please refer to the Ontario Ministry of Health weblink below:

You may also want to highlight this to your treating physician so that they are aware of the funding availability. Please note that all funding is subject to the Ministry approval. Submission of a prior approval application does not guarantee approval of the requested service(s). Individual patient must be approved before the FerriScan service is rendered.

Hi Miss Sylivia :
did you find sucess to make the contact to any official of Aga khan ( pakistan ) or to any official of thalassemia society of pakistan ????.....
Sylvia:
Hello nice friend,
No, I didn't have any results from my emails to Aga Khan. I will keep trying. Our company would be attending the TIF Conference in Singapore in October. Hopefully, we get to meet some of the Pakistani physicians at the conference.
I don't seem to get any good results from emailing physicians in the Middle East regions. Physicians don't reply to email. 1) They don't have regular assess to emails or 2) They are not comfortable exchanging information over email or 3) They don't reply emails to those whom they do not know.
I hope that our presence at the conference would help physicians to understand what we do and how we could work with them.
I am not giving up on this regions yet. They are still on my working list and hopefully, we get to see some results after the conference.
