2026年5月8日，国际地中海贫血日宣传活动在金边举行。此次活动由VOICE组织主办，主题为“不再隐藏——寻找未确诊者，支持未见者”，旨在提升公众对这一遗传性血液疾病的认知。
据相关数据显示，柬埔寨目前的地中海贫血负担位居全球首位，其发病率及患病率约为全球平均水平的10倍。
国家儿童医院儿科血液病专家Chean Sophal医生在活动中表示，地中海贫血患者的早期诊断至关重要。他呼吁患儿家属应积极配合，确保患儿接受规范化的治疗，包括按时进行输血。
针对长期输血可能带来的副作用，Chean Sophal医生特别强调了预防铁过载的重要性。他指出，频繁输血会导致体内铁含量升高，若不进行有效干预，将对心脏和肝脏等器官造成损伤。通过早期发现与科学的治疗管理，可以有效降低此类并发症的风险。

**International Thalassemia Day 2026 Held to Raise Awareness of Thalassemia
PHNOM PENH – Experts, parents and patients with thalassemia gathered on May 8 to raise awareness of the genetic blood disorder, as Cambodia has been ranked first in the world for thalassemia burden, with prevalence and incidence rates nearly 10 times higher than the global average.
The event was organized by VOICE Organization under this year’s theme, “Hidden No More – Finding the Undiagnosed, Supporting the Unseen.” **

Dr. Chean Sophal, a pediatric hematologist at the National Pediatric Hospital, encouraged parents of children with thalassemia to bring their children for proper diagnosis and regular treatment, including blood transfusions.
He also emphasized the importance of early detection and proper treatment to prevent blood iron levels from rising due to frequent transfusions, which can damage organs such as the heart and liver.
