Result: One thousand eight hundred fifty-nine (93.9 %) has heard of G6PD deficiency and 1,586 (79.8 %) recognized it as a blood disease, only 690 (34.7 %) recognized it as a gender related disease.
One thousand seven hundred three (85.7 %) knew that fava bean ingestion can be a triggering factor for hemolysis in affected individuals.
Females showed better knowledge than males and married persons seem to know more about G6PD deficiency than unmarried.
Conclusion : The study revealed a good level of knowledge of G6PD deficiency.
Some of the respondents were confused about the pattern of inheritance.
