12th International Conference on Thalassaemia and the Haemoglobinopathies
14th TIF International Conference for Patients and Parents
Antalya, Turkey - May 11-14 2011
More than 1300 participants from over 50 countries, across 5 continents gathered in Antalya to witness the most successful conference on thalassaemia and the haemoglobinopathies by far organised by the Thalassaemia International Federation until now. The event was co-organised with the Thalassaemia Federation of Turkey and had the support of the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Health professionals and thalassaemia patients gathered in the WOW Kremlin Palace Hotel for four days that were packed with exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences from people of all walks of life. The number of medical scientists and patients was approximately equal, thus making interaction more lively and proactive.
The beautiful location of Antalya and the hospitality exhibited by the Turkish people was exceptional, making this years conference a most memorable occasion.
