The Thalassemia Department of Paphos General Hospital, provides care to patients with haemoglobin disorders such as beta-thalassemia, alpha-thalassemia, and sickle cell disease. Patients are examined at the regular clinic within the hospital premises, which offers clinical and laboratory evaluation and also regular transfusions for patients with haemoglobinopathies.
The department has been operational since 2005 with a 13-beds ward. Its primary objective is to provide care and systematic monitoring of patients to prevent complications, increase life expectancy, improve the quality of life, and facilitate the social integration of individuals with haemoglobin disorders. Treatment follows international protocols and is tailored and personalised to suit each patient’s lifestyle to the best possible degree. Pregnant women or minors with haemoglobin disorders are also closely monitored and receive care at the department.
Moreover, the department provides preconception advice to young couples and referrals for laboratory investigations and genetic counselling to those with genetic predisposition for such haemoglobinopathies. Prevention or early diagnosis during pregnancy, along with the necessary genetic counselling, is crucial in preventing the birth of children with severe haemoglobin disorders. The department maintains both scientific and operational synergies with other Thalassemia centres. The clinic is staffed by one physician and three nurses, operating from 12:00 to 7:30.
