    Situation

    The poor survival of children with sickle cell disease in Sierra Leone.

    Solution

    The project will solve the problem by an observational study in which babies born with sickle cell disease will be followed from birth to see how they develop, fall ill and sometimes die, even though they are under careful observation and clinical and family support.
