Omair Sana Welfare Foundation – an initiative taken back in 2003 by a Pakistan-born American doctor, Kashif Hussain Ansari. Named after the two kids he had lost to thalassemia, Omair and Sana, the Foundation was established to help thalassemic children in Pakistan, where majority of them belonging to families living below poverty line and unable to afford the treatment. He was joined in this noble cause by his younger brother, Saqib Hussain Ansari, a doctor by profession, specializing in blood diseases.

That was the first step taken to embark on a journey of a thousand miles.

In 2005, realizing the magnitude of the work, enthusiasm and commitment, Dr. Ansari went on to officially register the Foundation as an NGO. Today, Alhamdullilah, Omair Sana Welfare Foundation is run, managed and overseen by a group of highly qualified professionals from different walks of the life. Our aim is to work day in day out for increased level of Thalassemia awareness and better patient management to minimize and eventually eradicate altogether the incidence of Thalassemia in Pakistan.

Although, thalassaemia is the prime focus, the Foundation takes pride in carrying out relief efforts in non-thalassemia domains as well.
