Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla stated that the government is committed to freeing the tribal community from sickle cell anemia. On the occasion of Tribal Pride Day and the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, he inaugurated the state’s first “Center of Excellence for Prenatal Diagnosis of Hemoglobinopathies” at sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa. He mentioned that this important center is dedicated to research, diagnosis, and clinical testing of blood-related genetic disorders, especially for citizens of the Vindhya region, including tribal groups.
Shukla remarked that establishing this center is an effort to elevate healthcare facilities in the state, providing precise and dedicated medical services to those affected by blood-related disorders, especially within vulnerable groups. Recognizing the prevalence of these disorders among the Vindhya region’s citizens, particularly within the tribal community, this center was deemed essential. It will conduct in-depth research on blood-related genetic disorders and provide timely diagnostic and medical services.
