The Sickle Cell Disease Initiative brings together multiple HHS agencies -- including the National Institutes of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Food and Drug Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the HHS Office of Minority Health -- to educate the public about the disease, enhance research to find better treatments, and train more health care providers with evidence-based guidelines that promote quality, comprehensive care.
This collaborative effort aims to address the significant disparities in SCD care and outcomes, particularly in underserved communities. By working together, the Sickle Cell Initiative strives to improve the health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with SCD.
