About Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease is a general name for variants of inherited disorders of the red blood cells affecting millions throughout the world. It is more prevalent in Africa and parts of India and in people of African/Indian descent in Diaspora.
Sickle Cell Anaemia (SCA) is the most common and most severe form of SCD; it occurs when an individual inherits the sickle cell gene (S) from both parents. Individuals with sickle cell anaemia experience periodic bone pain (known as sickle cell crises) and other complications arising from misshapen blood cells. The only cure for SCD is bone marrow transplant, a procedure much too expensive for the vast majority suffering from the condition. Other potential cures are being tested.
Millions of people worldwide harbour the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT), the overwhelming majority unaware because SCT has practically no symptoms and virtually no adverse health implications.
In 2008, the World Health Organization and the United Nations dubbed SCD a ‘global public health priority’ and appointed a World Sickle Cell Day (celebrated June 19).
