Ministry of Health, The Republic of Uganda
Developed by the Ministry of Health of Uganda, these guidelines aim to standardize the approach to Sickle Cell Disease. They detail the pathophysiology, clinical features, and diagnostic methods, including Uganda's newborn screening program. Management strategies encompass initial assessment, the use of hydroxyurea, treatment of acute and chronic complications, and health maintenance through education, nutrition, and infection prevention. The guidelines also address specific considerations for adolescents, pregnant women, and older individuals with SCD, as well as prevention through genetic counseling.
