A paediatric haematologist looks after children's blood: sickle cell disease above all in Nigeria, but also anaemia that does not improve and bleeding or bruising that seems too easy. For a child with sickle cell, regular specialist care, the right preventive medicines and a plan for crises change how the illness goes.
