  • About 7.7% exhibited adequate knowledge of thalassemia, with education and socio-economic status influencing awareness.
  • Targeted awareness campaigns are needed, emphasizing positive attitudes and practices towards thalassemia management.
  • Community outreach and educational programs can effectively promote understanding and reduce stigma surrounding thalassemia.
