Thalassemia is one of the most common hemoglobinopathies affecting a large number of people in India and other countries of South-East Asia. For patients with most severe form of the disease- Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia (TDT), stem cell transplantation or gene therapy are only curative treatment which are not available to most of the patients because of lack of experts, financial constraints and lack of suitable donors. In such situations, most cases are managed with regular blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy. With this treatment, over the years, survival of the patients has improved and 20-40% cases are entering into adulthood. In the absence of structured transition of care programs, currently most adult TDT patients are being managed by pediatricians. This article highlights the need for transition of care for TDT patients, barriers to transition and how to overcome the barriers and process of transition of care to adult care team. The importance of empowering the patients in self-management of the disease and educating the adult care team to achieve the desired outcome of transition program is highlighted.
