Voices Shaping a Thalassemia & Sickle Cell Disease-Free India

We are proud to continue Ignited Minds, a series celebrating the people whose ideas and commitment are shaping a future free from thalassemia and sickle cell disease.

Our second feature highlights S. V. Iyer, whose message reminds us that prevention is strongest when accountability and reliable data guide every step.

"The single change that can transform the hemoglobinopathy landscape in our country is statutory mandatory screening at first pregnancy... Without accountability and reliable data, progress will remain difficult to measure and sustain."

Every family reached, every pregnancy screened, and every informed decision brings us closer to a future where prevention is possible for all.
