Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder affecting millions worldwide and significantly burdening India's healthcare system. With over 40,000 newborns estimated to have been born with sickle cell anemia in India in 2010, the country ranks second only to Africa in prevalence. Despite advancements in treatment, many patients, particularly those in geographically disadvantaged regions, remain undiagnosed and inadequately managed.
