The National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 1, 2023, aims to combat sickle cell disease in India. The mission has already screened over 3 crore individuals for the disease. Sickle cell anaemia is a chronic condition that requires lifelong medical visits and affects both men and women equally. It is inherited from parents who are carriers of the sickle cell trait. Awareness and early diagnosis are crucial for managing the disease, and individuals are encouraged to get tested to determine if they are carriers. The mission emphasizes the importance of understanding the risks and management strategies for those who are carriers or have the disease. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, along with other governmental bodies, is actively promoting awareness and providing resources through the mission's official website. A CHOP health researcher is working to help those affected by the disease.
