  1. drepanocytic anaemia

    Drepanocytic anemia, more commonly known as sickle cell anemia, is a genetic disorder that leads to the production of abnormal, sickle-shaped red blood cells. These malformed cells can obstruct blood vessels, leading to painful crises, organ damage, and other serious complications. This condition is usually diagnosed early in childhood and requires lifelong management. It’s most common among people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian descent.
