Sickle cell disease is one of the world’s most common hereditary blood disorders. Each year, an estimated 300,000 children are born with it — the majority of them in Africa, but also in India, the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Laura Salm-Reifferscheidt went to Tunisia to speak to a doctor who wants to make a difference in treating patients.
