In this video, Maria Domenica Cappellini, MD, University of Milan, Milan, Italy, discusses the results of a global patient survey conducted by the Thalassemia Advocacy Advisory Council, which aimed to understand health literacy among patients with thalassemia. Prof. Cappellini highlights that the survey revealed a significant lack of awareness among patients regarding the impact of chronic anemia and its associated morbidities, and emphasizes the need to revisit treatment approaches and increase patient knowledge. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
