Multidisciplinary Care Team Greatly Reduces Risk in Pregnant SCD Patients in Low-income Countries

In recent decades, medical advances have significantly improved the survival of those living with SCD, which now raises a new health challenge. Pregnant women with sickle cell disease have increased risks of complications and a higher risk of mortality.
