dip,
sir its difficult to give an idea of tretment cost of thalassemia ,, as in one country it could vary between the thalassemia centers because of treatment standards ... as here in pakistan it cost approx. Rs.1200  alone for Transfusion in aga khan hospital to free of cost in some thalassemia centers .... but as i said ,, quality/standard of services varries too ...
