A first of its kind specialised clinic designed to support sickle cell disease (SCD) patients as they transition from paediatric to adult care has been launched by Government Hospitals in Bahrain, aiming to ease one of the most critical stages in a patient’s healthcare journey.
The joint clinic at Salmaniya Medical Complex will cater to patients aged 14 to 20, providing a structured and supportive pathway as they move unto adult healthcare services – a transition experts say can often be overwhelming .
