The importance of early intervention and closing the equity gap in SCD

Natasha Archer, MD, MPH, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, discusses the importance of early intervention in sickle cell disease (SCD), which can be achieved with routine newborn screening to identify individuals who require care. Dr Archer also discusses how the equity gap can be closed to ensure patients receive the treatment they need, highlighting that an emphasis must be placed on improving the transition from pediatric to adult care. This interview took place at the 19th Annual Scientific Conference of the Academy for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia (ASCAT 2024) in London, UK.
