Sickle Cell Disease
Description
Despite being considered a “rare” disease, sickle cell affects a huge number of people in some parts of the world, like Africa and South Asia. We speak with Dr. Nick Kassebaum, Dr. Theresa McHugh, and Azalea Thomson about their recent research.
An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health.
