The COVID-19 pandemic could have a major impact on the capacity of health systems to continue the delivery of essential health service. While health systems around the world are being challenged by increasing demand for care of COVID-19 patients, it is critical to maintain preventive and curative services, especially for the most vulnerable populations such people living with chronic conditions like thallasemics. In this context and since the start of the SARS-CoV-2 health crisis, the National Blood Transfusion Center of Morocco has ranked among its priorities the need to maintain transfusion management for chronic polytransfused patients, particularly those with thalassemia. We report in this paper, the case of a thallasemic patient whose transfusion management was disrupted by the restrictive measures introduced by the Moroccan authorities and for which the National Blood Center of Morocco provided effective support.
新冠疫情可能会对卫生系统继续提供基本卫生服务的能力产生重大影响。虽然全球卫生系统正面临着 COVID-19 患者护理需求不断增加的挑战，但维持预防和治疗服务至关重要，特别是对于最脆弱的人群，如患有慢性病的人群，如地中海贫血患者。在这种情况下，自 SARS-CoV-2 卫生危机开始以来，摩洛哥国家血液中心已将维持慢性多输血患者的输血管理，特别是地中海贫血患者的输血管理作为其优先事项之一。我们在本文中报告了一名地中海贫血患者的病例，其输血管理因摩洛哥当局实施的限制措施而中断，而摩洛哥国家血液中心为其提供了有效的支持。
