The family of one-year-and-nine-month-old boy Zubair, who has been suffering from thalassaemia, has appealed to affluent people for generous help to save the child. Zubair has now been receiving treatment at Thalassaemia Centre at Shishu Hospital under the supervision of Prof Wakar Ahmed. He needs to undergo bone-marrow transplantation, which is not possible in the country. The costly treatment is available in India, says a press release. The child's father is unable to bear the treatment cost. So, he has sought cooperation from all to continue the treatment. Contributions can be sent to Mamun Mustofi Joy, savings A/C No. 1506101719534001, Brac Bank Limited.
