Abstract
Accurate laboratory screening for sickle cell disease and other haemoglobin disorders is expanding worldwide. Two new reports describe different methods and strategies for screening in Mali and Denmark, respectively, and their encouraging results suggest that countries should tailor their screening programmes according to local needs, resources and opportunities. Commentary on: Guindo et al. Potential for a large‐scale newborn screening strategy for sickle cell disease in Mali: a comparative diagnostic performance study of two rapid diagnostic tests (SickleScan® and HemotypeSC®) on cord blood. Br J Haematol 2024;204:337–345 and Gravholt et al. The Danish national haemoglobinopathy screening programme: report from 16 years of screening in a low‐prevalence, non‐endemic region.
