beta thalassemia is an hereditary disease caused by mutations in the beta globin gene. The clinical course is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia that required regular blood transfusions. Secondary to the blood transfusions, patients developed severe hemosiderosis that can cause death in the early twenties unless appropriate iron chelator therapy is given. Due to the severity of the disease and the expensive treatment, a prevention program should be instituted. We report our experience in a prevention program among pregnant women in the Jezreel and Eiron Valleys during a period of fifteen years.
