Raelene Kambli: Advocating for Safer Blood Access

Raelene Kambli, Corporate Communications Manager at Roche, shared Roche’s post on LinkedIn:

“Most people leave home for a job, a degree, or a fresh adventure.

Jharna Mallick had to leave her village simply to stay alive.

Jharna lives with Thalassemia Major, means blood transfusions are not occasional—they are life itself.

Yet Jharna had to leave her home, her village and everything familiar behind, simply because safe blood wasn’t consistently available.

Now, pause for a moment and think about that.

We check expiry dates on our food, expect clean water from the tap, trust that our roads are paved and often opt for heathcare set-ups that offer safer environment.

Yet for millions of people who rely on lifelong transfusions, access to safe blood is still a roll of the dice based on where they live.

Safety shouldn’t depend on your zip code.

What moves me most about Jharna is that she refused to accept this as ‘just the way things are.’

She turned her struggle into a national advocacy mission—fighting to ensure no one else has to choose between their home and their health.

Healthcare innovation is meaningful only if it reaches the people who need it most.

At Roche, Jharna’s story is a sobering reminder of why we do what we do.

Safe blood isn’t a luxury- it is the bare minimum standard of care.

Please take a few minutes to watch Jharna tell her story.

The more we talk about blood safety out in the open, the closer we get to making safe blood a reality for everyone, everywhere.”

Roche shared a post on LinkedIn:

“What does safe blood really mean to someone living with thalassemia?

For Jharana, it meant leaving behind the comfort of her home and family in search of safe blood.

Every transfusion is more than a medical procedure.

It is hope, strength, and another chance to dream, study, work, and live.

In this heartfelt story, Jharana shares the challenges she faced, the resilience that carried her forward, and why every person living with a chronic blood disorder, whether in a city or a small Indian village, deserves timely access to safe, NAT-tested blood.

Watch the video till the end and join us in supporting access to safer blood.”
