NAGPUR: Central India, especially Vidarbha, has high number of patients of sickle cell and thalassaemia, both genetic blood-related disorders. While medicines and surgical treatment are available, most of the patients coming from poor family background cannot afford them.
The ultimate solution of these disorders is to stop genetic mix-up of individuals (husband and wife) with sickle cell trait or thalassaemia miner carriers. To achieve this, Nagpur-headquartered Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Society of India has designed a first-of-its-kind web application based on Android.
