ASCAT 2024 | The limited access to novel therapeutics for sickle cell disease in LMICs

In this video, Mona El Ghamrawy, MBBch, MSc, MD, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt, briefly discusses the limited access to novel therapeutics for treating sickle cell disease (SCD) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Dr El Ghamrawy hopes that the cost of curative treatment approaches, namely gene therapy, will decrease with time to make these options accessible to patients. This interview took place at the 19th Annual Scientific Conference of the Academy for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia (ASCAT 2024) in London, UK.
