Nagpur: In a promising development for sickle cell patients, Daga Hospital is set to inaugurate an amniotic fluid testing center in the near future. Dr. Seema Parvekar, the Medical Superintendent of Daga Hospital, disclosed that although funds were allocated for this purpose, the establishment of the testing center faced delays.
However, following persistent efforts by the Sickle Cell Society of India (SCI), an appeal was made to the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights to expedite the process.
