Thalassemia Mandatory Pre-Marital Screening Policy Drive

In strategic alignment with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS), TUF leads a nationwide legislative campaign enforcing mandatory pre-marital Thalassemia screening ordinances across Punjab province.

University medical faculty and public health experts collaborated with regional health departments to model disease transmission metrics and demonstrate the economic burden of Thalassemia on public healthcare infrastructure.

TUF organized policy roundtables with provincial parliamentarians, delivering empirical data that reinforced legal enforcement of blood screening prior to marriage registration.

Key Measurable Outcomes & Policy Impact:

• Drafted public health advocacy policy brief adopted by provincial PRCS health committees.
• Screened over 3,500 young adults while lobbying for strict statutory compliance across Faisalabad district.
• Established a joint monitoring taskforce with Red Crescent to track regional screening compliance rates.
