Aim: Premarital screening for beta-thalassemia is not widely acceptable in India; hence, we evaluated the effectiveness of antenatal screening and counseling over 7 years.
Methods: 61,935 pregnant women were screened using the single-tube osmotic fragility test during their first antenatal visit. Individuals who were positive were investigated further for diagnosis of beta-thalassemia and other abnormal hemoglobins.
