The Jamaican Sickle Cell Unit
The Jamaican Sickle Cell Unit is a laboratory of the Medical Research Council (MRC), an accredited clinic of the University Hospital of the West Indies, and is affiliated to the University of the West Indies.
The work of the Sickle Cell Unit over the last 30 years has focused on studies of the natural history of sickle cell disease to determine some of the factors influencing severity. This information has been used to develop measures preventing some complications of the disease and the more effective treatment of complications for which our current knowledge does not allow prevention.
