Question 11097 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Josette Manin reminds the Minister of Solidarity and Health that there are 2,000 people with sickle cell disease in Martinique. This observation requires that the island be provided with adequate means to effectively fight against this disease, something that existed until today on the territory. Also, the situation is alarming on the island: impossibility of screening for the disease (equipment broken down since May 2018), inability to ensure the transfusion safety of patients, relocation of the sickle cell reference center to the premises of the former technical platform of the Meynard hospital which has not been the subject of any rehabilitation, all this as part of the reorganization of healthcare provision on the island. Concerning this last point, the center until now benefited from new premises within the Mangot Vulcin University Hospital and tip allowing transfusion exchanges to be carried out for patients supervised by trained staff. Apart from the health issues that exist in Martinique, it is more than necessary that a regional action plan - taking into account the neonatal screening strategy and transfusion safety - be put in place in order to guarantee access to quality care for Martinicans suffering from sickle cell anemia. She calls on him to find out if his ministry would be willing to take appropriate action to resolve the problems linked to this disease on its territory.
