Cover Story: β-thalassemia, a life-threatening inheritable hemoglobin disorder caused by mutations in the HBB gene, poses a significant public health challenge in the world. Although no comprehensive work has been carried out in Bangladesh, the world prevalence and small-scale works have indicated the possibility of a high prevalence of this disease in the country. Therefore, this review aims to explore the present situation of β-thalassemia in Bangladesh and propose approaches to mitigate its impact in the future. Limited awareness, a high incidence of consanguineous marriage, and inadequate access to healthcare are the possible factors responsible for the high prevalence of thalassemia in Bangladesh, while the absence of public health policy and a national health insurance system further exacerbate the situation.
