Title: Sickle Cell Disease: New Solutions for Diagnosis and Managementread here
With early diagnosis, children with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) can be given affordable interventions such as prophylactic penicillin and a pneumonia vaccine, drugs like hydroxyurea and supportive nutrition and hydration to reduce the disease’s impact. Studies have shown that 70% of children with SCD in SSA would survive with these simple measures. That’s 300,000 children saved each year.
