What is sickle cell?
Sickle cell anemia is defined as an inherited red blood cell disorder in which the number of healthy red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body is not sufficient. The red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons in the person having sickle cell disease. These cells can get stuck in the small blood vessels and thus, slow or block blood flow and oxygen.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak posed significant challenges to the healthcare system across geographies. It affected the growth of the sickle cell market negatively as patients postponed their appointments due to a rapid surge in COVID-19 cases across geographies. Also, supply chain disruptions due to the imposition of lockdown affected the market growth further.
