Natasha

“High school, that was the hardest part of my life… but what kept me going were my goals.”

Diagnosed with beta thalassemia as a baby, Natasha has always been a strong child with a constant eagerness to learn and show what she could do. That determination has guided her through life: despite facing stigma in high school due to frequent medical absences, she responded by achieving the highest marks. Today, she is actively involved in the Thalassemia Movement, a local patients’ association where she both finds and offers the understanding and support essential to navigating life with the condition.​
