Our aim is to fill screening gaps by reaching people who were missed at birth and connecting them to care:
• identify babies, children, adolescents, and adults who were missed at birth.
• organize catch-up screening events in schools, faith, and community settings.
• refer positive screens for confirmatory testing and clinical enrollment.
• enroll eligible people into NHIS to reduce cost barriers.
• link families to nearby SCD clinics and follow-up support.
Our goal is to increase early identification and linkage to care in every district we serve.
We will measure progress by the share of screened individuals who complete confirmatory testing and attend their first clinic visit.
We coordinate pop-up screening with public facilities and NGOs, provide on-site genetic counseling, register eligible families for NHIS, and ensure warm handoffs to SCD clinics for follow-up care.
We then enroll individuals, as needed, into the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and connect them with a nearby healthcare center for follow-up care, confirmatory testing, and treatment.
