Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by the year 2047, everyone is working unitedly about the goal of making the country sick. Madhya Pradesh is strongly realizing the national resolution of eradication of sickle cell disease. Deputy Chief Minister Shukla said that sickle cell is a genetic and incurable blood disorder, which is transferred from generation to generation. In this, red blood cells become semi -chandelier, which disrupts oxygen flow and the person has to face problems like acute pain, infection and organ damage. The disease is found more in especially tribal communities and is a major health challenge for a tribal dominated state like Madhya Pradesh.
Deputy Chief Minister Shukla said that a state level ceremony will be held in Barwani on June 19 on the occasion of World Sickle Cell Day. The program will be attended by Governor Mangubhai Patel, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. On this occasion, special camps will be organized for consultation, screening, disease management and free treatment in the affected 33 districts of the state. Deputy Chief Minister Shukla has called upon the people of the state to take a pledge together that by the year 2047, Madhya Pradesh will be made sick. Do the screening of every citizen, adopt pre -marriage sickle cell card and spread the message of solution, not hesitant in the society.
Screening of one crore 6 lakh citizens
Deputy Chief Minister Shukla said that the state government has adopted it in mission mode, considering the eradication of sickle cell as a subject of health justice. He said that it is a matter of pride that Madhya Pradesh is ranked first in the country in sickle cell screening today. So far, more than 1 crore 6 lakh citizens have been screened. More than 2 lakh sickle cell carriers and 29,277 patients have been identified. More than 80 lakh 9 thousand sickle cell cards have been distributed. 26,115 patients have been provided treatment with hydroxy urea medicine.
Deputy Chief Minister Shukla said that free medicines, vaccination, blood transfusion and genetic counseling are being provided to all identified patients. Special laboratory is employed in AIIMS Bhopal for investigation of newborns in 72 hours. More than 100 Bonmero transplants have been successfully done at Indore Medical College. The “Center of Excellence for Pre -Pregnant Diagnosis of hemoglobinopathy” is effectively functioning at Rewa. Screening camps are being organized regularly in tribal schools, hostels and colleges to identify the disease at the initial level and ensure effective treatment.
Whether the horoscope is found or not, must mix sickle cell card before marriage
Deputy Chief Minister Shukla has urged the citizens to “meet the horoscope or not, be sure to mix sickle cell card before marriage.” He said that if both the youth are sickle cell carriers, then there is a lot of possibility of serious sickle cell disease in their children, so conducting sickle cell before marriage is not only personal, but also a social responsibility to protect the health of the coming generation.
