Private healthcare provider AAR Hospital on Thursday announced a significant subsidy on critical sickle cell screening tests and free preventative medication, marking World Sickle Cell Day with an initiative aimed at reducing the economic barriers to diagnosing and managing the prevalent genetic blood disorder.
The hospital will offer comprehensive blood tests, known as full haemograms (which analyse red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets), for Sh500 at its Kiambu Road facility – a reduction of 65 per cent from the standard cost of Sh1,450. This subsidized screening will be available to the general public seeking testing.
