The Issue Anemia is a medical condition that occurs when red blood cells fail to carry enough oxygen to the tissues to support normal functioning.
Anemia can become a serious problem if it remains undiagnosed and untreated.
Because there are no standardized diagnosis and treatment protocols for anemia many patients go untreated. Our Vision A society where health outcomes and quality of life for people at risk for or living with anemia are substantially improved. AIRE, developed by a concerned group of health care professionals and patients, is the world's first organization devoted exclusively to anemia research and education. On the research front, the Institute will establish a peer-review Research Committee that will identify research priorities and projects, and will fund both basic and applied research. In terms of education, AIRE will host public events and forums, sponsor conferences, seminars and workshops, and deliver information through the media.
