- Newborn screening for sickle cell disease in a hospital setting in Luanda, Angola: local implementing learning from an international ConsortiumPublication . Brito, Miguel; Ginete, Catarina; Mendes, Manuela; Afonso, Roberto; Siatembo, Adriano; Neto-Vasconcelo, Jocelyne; Inusa, BabaEarly diagnosis of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is critical to reducing mortality and morbidity in affected children; however, it remains largely unavailable in Sub-Saharan Africa, where disease prevalence is highest. This severe monogenic recessive disorder has an estimated mortality rate of 50–90% by age five if left undiagnosed. The Lancet Haematology Commission strongly recommends that all children worldwide be screened for SCD by 2025. This work aims to share the results from implementing newborn screening for Sickle Cell Disease at Hospital Materno-Infantil Dr. Manuel Pedro Anzacot de Menezes, Angola.
