Tonytonex: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.” |
