On World Sickle Cell Awareness Day, let’s reaffirm our commitment to building a healthier and more equitable India.
Under the National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission, screened over 7.19 crore individuals, identified more than 20.26 lakh carriers, diagnosed 2.46 lakh persons with Sickle Cell Disease, and distributed 4.82 crore Sickle Cell Cards.
These achievements reflect our collective efforts to ensure early diagnosis, timely treatment, genetic counselling and comprehensive care, particularly among tribal populations and vulnerable communities.
Let us continue working together towards our shared goal of eliminating Sickle Cell Disease as a public health challenge by 2047.
