Red Cross Opens Thalassemia Transfusion Centre

The Red Cross in Vijayawada opened a special place to help children with a condition called Thalassemia.

These children need blood transfusions every month, and now they can get them for free at the Red Cross Blood Bank.

The district collector, Dr. G. Lakshmisha, opened this new centre.

He said it's great that the Red Cross helps people in emergencies and saves lives.

They are also working on a way to cure Thalassemia forever using bone marrow transplantation.

The collector thanked the doctors who are helping with this cause.

Many important people were there for the opening, and the collector even planted a tree to celebrate.
