The Ministry of Tribal Affairs and Birsa Munda Centre, AIIMS, organized a National Technical Conclave for Awareness Generation on Sickle Cell Disease at AIIMS, Delhi. This event coincides with World Sickle Cell Day, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his commitment to fighting the disease. The National Sickle Cell Elimination Mission 2047 aims to eradicate the disease by 2047, particularly focusing on the high prevalence among Scheduled Tribes. Additionally, India is making strides in developing a gene therapy for sickle cell disease, with recent positive results from Kamau's Nula-Cell patient zero study led by Matthew Porteus showing promising gene correction. One year after Graphite Bio halted its clinical trial for sickle cell disease, follow-up data indicates safety and efficacy.
