Referring to the National Sickle Cell Anemia Eradication Mission, the PM said they are also working on other aspects like creating awareness about this genetic blood disorder.
“On World Sickle Cell Day, we reiterate our commitment to overcoming this disease. Last year, we launched the National Sickle Cell Anemia Elimination Mission and focused on aspects such as awareness generation, universal screening, early detection and appropriate care. Working," PM Modi wrote on X.
“We are also leveraging the power of technology in this area,” he said.
World Sickle Cell Day is celebrated every year on 19 June to raise awareness about this disease.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda also posted, saying, "Our efforts are focused on promoting early diagnosis, ensuring access to treatment and enhancing the quality of care for those affected."
"Guided by the mantra 'Progress through Hope: Advancing global sickle cell care and treatment,' we strengthen our commitment to tackling this disease," he said.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped.
In this disease, abnormal cells block blood flow and break down easily, leading to problems like severe pain, liver and heart problems and a shorter life span, usually in the mid-40s.
