ASH to develop clinical guidelines to improve care for people with sickle cell disease
This World Sickle Cell Day, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) is working on several projects to conquer sickle cell disease (SCD) worldwide. Among them, the Society has launched an effort to develop clinical practice guidelines on the management of SCD. An expansion of ASH’s commitment to identify and confront unmet needs in SCD patient care, these guidelines will be created with input from physicians and patients to address the unique needs of this underserved patient population.
