My wife has Thalassemia Minor, while my blood report for Thalassemia is negative. In this situation, what are the chances of our baby having Thalassemia? Should we proceed with having a child? Will the child be able to lead a healthy life?

Since you are not a carrier, the baby would not have Thalassemia Major. The baby might be a minor carrier like the mother, but that would not affect health. You can plan your pregnancy confidently.
