Proposing a FREE private clinic for Thalassaemia

Reader Question

Your Question:
Hey Niyaf, why are you not involved in the care of Maldivian kids with Thalassaemia??? Your training in the management of Thalassaemia in Australia is being wasted……I propose that you set up a FREE private clinic for Kids with Thalassaemia! I am sure there would be financially well-off individuals, companies or organizations that would be willing to fund the set-up of such a clinic.

My Answer:
I am very willing to take up on that offer. I will be most grateful if such a clinic could be set-up as soon as possible. It is something that I would like to do, but I do need support for it.
I have made it very clear to concerned authorities that I would like to play a role in the management of Thalassaemia in the Maldives. I am told that before long I will be joining the current team of medical and paramedical personnel working in this field.
Regardless of what happens in the official setup, I think the concept of a FREE private clinic for kids with Thalassaemia is a grand idea and I am ALL for it!
Spread the word and someone with enough resources may lend us a hand and a few bucks!

Still waiting........

It is frustrating...........I am still waiting for an opportunity to give something back to the community of patients with Thalassaemia in the Maldives!!! Since returning to Maldives I have been working with a few kids with Thalassaemia on a more personal basis but on an official level, I am still an outsider.

I am told the wheels are in motion for a more reasonable opportunity for me to contribute to the management of Thalassaemia in the country.......until then.....
