Salman Mehmood a.k.a SKDev
Salman Mehmood the founder of Thalassemia.com.pk is no longer among us. He left this world at 2 pm PST on 19th October 2009 due to meningitis.
He was a thalassemic himself, 24 years old, working as a web developer for a US based company named ‘Directors Advantage’.
His dream was to save next generation from thalassemia, he wanted badly assembly to pass the thalassemia prevention bill and how unlucky of him that bill just got pass when he died…, he wanted to aware every single soul about thalassemia, he even mentioned his cause on a TV show, you can see the video on Youtube.
Rest about him I won’t write because other bloggers/journalist/writers have written on him a lot. As a brother he was a gem!

Dear Ayesha,
It is sad that we came to know of Salman only in his death. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen.
We are deeply touched by what both of you have been doing to create awareness about Thalassemia.
The Press Trust of India (PTI) ran a story on Salman a few days ago. I have just posted the links to you. In case if you want to read the full story I will mail it to you.
Be brave.
I am very sorry for your loss. I wrote about your disease a few months ago, yet did not know at that time that there were some very brave warriors out there fighting against this disease. I have found your brother too late, but know that I am thankful for his efforts, and yours. I’m sorry for your loss.
Hi Ayesha,
I d’nt know you! i just read this post, i am deeply sorry about young death of your brother. I am a regular blood donater & felt the pain your brother went through, your brother had left his mark on earth.
Allah may peace him in Jannah. Ameen.
