Today, we are talking about resilience with Kostas Tsurlis from Nuremberg, Germany. He is 53 and living with TDT (transfusion-dependent thalassemia). He discusses how the challenges he has faced have built resilience and made him a stronger person by helping others.

In his words: “Over the last three decades, I have been active in thalassemia matters, and I became an expert patient. Over the years, I gained a sound knowledge about thalassemia, which I dedicate to the wealth of our thal ‘family’ by supporting patients and parents, communicating with doctors, and cooperating with pharmaceutical companies. ‘Knowledge doubles when you share it.’”
