While our study showed that resources were generally available at national-level hospitals, we uncovered suboptimal levels of resources for care of SCD at regional-level hospitals where items such as SCD confirmatory tests including Hb electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, and HPLC; imaging equipment including trans-cranial Doppler ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI; blood and urine culture; intensive care services as well as hydroxyurea were uniformly or commonly missing. This evidence concerns the gene GSTM1 and Schnyder corneal dystrophy.
