Suming up 1883 hemoglobin electrophoresis patient sample, regardless of age, suspected thalassemia and or Hb disease distributed as following: *-thal: 59.65% including-thalhomozygous: 10.43% -halhomozygous 1.20%, -thal/HbE 29.56% trait 18.46%. *HbE (HbE only and -thal/HbE) 39.66% *  thal (HbH and HbH/Hb CS) 27.25%. *HbCS: 7.47%. *  and HPFH heterozygous: 2.96%. From these results, it is necessary to up grade the test of quantification of HbA2 and simultanous develop plan of mass screening for thalasemia trait early to identify persons who are at risk of having a child with a severe disease.
