Overview

This review assesses genetic counselling practices for thalassaemia in public health, highlighting the need for trained professionals.

Key Points

  • Genetic counselling for thalassaemias is essential for reproductive choices and managing hereditary anaemias.
  • Contemporary counselling for haemoglobinopathies is primarily conducted by clinical haematologists, not trained counsellors.
  • Countries have developed screening and prevention programmes to reduce cases of thalassaemia and its impacts.
  • Incorporating genetic counselling into haematology services is vital for effective patient management and education.
