Even at that but the treatment should be affordable
As a medical doctor living with sickle cell disease, Isn’t it shocking that despite the recent approvals of revolutionary gene therapies for the treatment and potential cure of sickle cell disease, I can't seem to share in the excitement.

In my column titled “Removing Financial Barriers for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease”, I have delved into the reasons behind my lack of enthusiasm.
Here are a few excerpts below from my sickle cell disease column on BioNews:

“But the staggering cost associated with this type of treatment raises concerns. How can someone living with sickle cell disease improve when these treatments are financially unattainable? When do we get therapies that genuinely benefit the entire sickle cell disease community?”

“ While it is undoubtedly positive to witness advancements in treatments and a potential cure for sickle cell disease, it is imperative that these treatments are both affordable and accessible to the patients around the world who need them. Without addressing this crucial point, the ultimate goal of enhancing quality of life and improving life expectancy for sickle cell patients will be missed.”

All rubbish!

Pure rubbish!

Probably promoted by the social media wing of the government, to create distractions while they continue to feed fat and build 15 billion Naira houses.

Unsurprisingly, these trends surface when the government is about to take/make a very ugly anti-people action/policy.

Dey Play. Just dey play...

This is good news!! We are 100million light years away from these progressive countries and it keeps getting worse.




Actually, there brain is not special, they just have a better enabling environment to thrive. That's why Nigerians who go there in educational pursuit also thrive even though they mostly go at adulthood and don't have a good head start..

If we had good leaders in Nigerian who allowed our educational system blossom instead of continuously stifling it, this people will not see our back because we Nigerians are hardworking and determined and that's why you will see even secondary school students studying all night.

While Africans are investing so much in going to church and mosques 5 times daily, the Western world is advancing in medicine, technological innovations etc in rescuing mankind from the disease and conditions that Africans spend their whole lives in churches and mosques.
So finally, who is doing the work of God/Allah better, who is showing that he is the better representative of God here on earth?

An average Nigerian whether Christian or Muslim once he goes to Western advanced world pockets his religion into his pocket upon realizing that those societies are doing better without too much religion. Religion inhibits capacity of human mind to think critically

Kudos to the inventors of this life saving drugs

Blake755:
How affordable is it that's the problem

sslcrypt:
Brother, these guys are seriously blessed with Brains. Just imagine if Yankee wasn't there? They are truly a global superpower

KingAzubuike:
You forgot to add that it costs $2.2M per treatment.

Mindlog:
And some deluded folks are boldly screaming it is way cheaper to live in Nigeria not considering the very low earning capacity of overwhelming majority of Nigerians.

How can a private school teacher, earning N25k a month afford this?
