Dear Readers,
We are happy to share the 6th volume of Sankalp Patrika with you. We took upon ourselves what seemed to be like a herculean task to prepare a 16 page newsletter every month way back towards the end of 2010.

Thalassemia management November was a challenging month at Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health. Thanks to the 10 government holidays, we had tough time accommodating all the children for transfusions. Looking at the workload at the institute together with the institute we are in the process of getting a doctor exclusively for the thalassemia unit. We had a total of 238 patient visits with 304 transfusions. The turnaround time for blood was 3.5 hours and the average patient stay was 7.3 hours.

We would like to thank all our readers for their continued patronage. We promise to keep the torch of knowledge burning.
