HealthPhoto: The HinduThalassemia Patients in Kozhikode Still Lack Free Leukocyte Filter Sets
Thalassemia patients at Government Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode continue to face difficulties as free leukocyte filter sets, essential for safe blood transfusions, have not been supplied for two years. Similar shortages affect patients in Kannur, Palakkad, and Wayanad government hospitals. Patients must buy these filters privately at around ₹1,200 each, with each filter usable only three times a month, increasing their financial burden.
