Understanding care
Clinical care may include hematology evaluation, monitoring of anemia and discussion of specialist treatment. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help

For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
