Despite limited resources, the hospital continues to provide free medical facilities to around 50 to 60 patients daily, even during the holy month of Ramadan.<br \/>\nFounder of the organization, Ijaz Ali Khan, said that many innocent children suffering from thalassemia and their families depend on the foundation for donated blood and costly medicines. Patients from far-flung districts also visit the hospital, where they receive treatment and safe blood transfusions through modern medical equipment.<br \/>\nIjaz Ali Khan appealed to people from all walks of life, including government authorities and philanthropists, to support the foundation through zakat and charitable donations in order to help save the lives of affected children.<\/p>\n<p>However, he noted that the institution is currently facing serious challenges due to a shortage of blood donations and financial constraints, particularly during Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed that preventive measures are essential to control thalassemia, urging the public to adopt pre-marital screening tests and awareness about cousin marriages, so that more families can be protected from the lifelong burden of the disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR The number of thalassemia and hemophilia patients registered at Hamza Foundation Welfare Thalassemia Hospital has increased to 1,563 after new cases were reported, highlighting the growing burden on the institution.
