Background
Dr. Kabani (also known as Dr. Aliya) is not only a doctor of naturopathic medicine, but is a past patient who was diagnosed at age 3 with Beta-thalassemia major, and was fortunate to undergo a bone marrow transplant at age 13, donated by her older sister, Zahra Alibhai. Dr. Kabani's hope is that this will be the beginning of increasing thalassemia awareness, not only in BC, but across the world.
