👥 Who We Are

PERKETHA (Pertubuhan Kebajikan Thalassemia Sabah) is a non-profit organization based in Sabah. We support people affected by Thalassemia, including patients, families, doctors, and volunteers.

Together, we raise awareness, offer support, and build a caring community.

No one should face Thalassemia alone.

We are a community of patients, parents, healthcare professionals, and compassionate volunteers who believe that no one should walk the Thalassemia journey alone.

Since our founding, PERKETHA has grown into a strong voice for awareness, support, and action. Our work is grounded in empathy, driven by medical collaboration, and powered by community spirit.
