The results of the project “HTA-Thal, Inter-regional Network for Thalassemia: HTA for the diagnostic and therapeutic intervention for iron overload”,  a public funded project promoted in 2008 by the Minister of Health, has been published on Hematology.

The project, co-funded by Fondazione Giambrone and coordinated by the Region of Basilicata, was aimed at creating a “Multiregional Network of Thalassemia centers’’, including an inventory of services and tools available at each participating center, and setting up a Thalassemia Registry (HTA-THAL Registry), with epidemiological and clinical data on the Thalassemia population referring to those centers.
