Based on the birth rate and the chance of being Beta thalassemia in each pregnancy, the number of pregnancies being teminated was capcatated. Considering the annual expenses of the care provided to each patients, the cost benefit rate was calculated.Results: The number of Beta thalassemia patient, regiotered at Boo Ali Sina hospital in 1993 was 500. The mean number at annual new cares was so untill 1996. from 1996 to 2002, nowerer, a mean umber of 35 new mostly old and intermediate cases was recorded.
