In this extended episode of the HemaSphere podcast, based on a must-read Perspective "Can health inequalities in sickle cell disease be addressed through novel therapies?", our host Scientific Editor Charles de Bock discusses sickle cell disease with co-authors, covering both expert and lived-patient perspectives. They explore the complexities of living with the disease, the current treatment landscape, and highlight the ongoing health inequalities faced by patients, the impact of withdrawn therapies, and the need for improved communication and trust between patients and healthcare providers.
