Abstract

A frequency of HbS or haemoglobin C trait of 15% was found in a cohort of recently arrived, mainly asymptomatic, young sub-Saharan Africans, using a simple point-of-care screening test. Screening allows early diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies in vulnerable populations facilitating linkage to care, genetic counselling and implementation of treatment and prevention strategies.
