Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch Sickle Cell Eradication Mission here on Monday. Programmes will be held in every tribal dominated gram panchayat of the state including Bhopal, where tribals will be connected to the main programme through TV sets and webcasts.
On this occasion, the Prime Minister will give away special Hemoglobinopathy genetic counselling cards to the beneficiaries innovated by doctor couple of Bhopal. The said Hemoglobinopathy Genetic counselling card also called GIPCI (Genetic Inheritance Prediction Counselling Identification) cards are specially designed cards for prevention of Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Researcher couple Dr Nisanth Nambison, Associate professor at Government Homoeopathic College and Hospital, and Dr Smita Nambison from Bhopal have invented a forecast card that accurately forecasts the monogenic disorder that will occur in the children of a married couple. This will prove to be a revolution in medical science.
