Gov. Obiano To Ban Couple With AS-AS Blood Genotype From Marrying
The Governor has iterated that his government will partner with the Church on genotype verification for those planning to get married. Governor Obiano’s latest move is to checkmate the rise in the number of new born babies who come up with sickle cell disease Anambra state governor, Dr Willie Obiano stated that his government will work hand in hand with churches across the state to ensure that intending couples have their blood genotype verified before they get married in order to prevent sickle cell disease.
The Governor, revealed this new development through his commissioner for health, Dr. Joe Akabuike at an event to commemorate the 2015 sickle cell day in Awka, the state capital.
He stated that it was one of the major plans of the Anambra state government to eradicate sickle cell disease.
While the commissioner spoke further, he said churches would be at the vanguard of the fight against the spread of sickle cell disease as they are mostly involved at overseeing intending couples to become husbands and wives.
The state governor insisted that his government would implement to the letter the Sickle Cell law which was passed by the State House of Assembly in 2002. The Sickle Cell law was geared towards mandating intending couples to check their blood genotype before they become husbands and wives. Governor Obiano maintained that couples who do contrary to the law would not be given certain rights by the state government, adding that involving the churches would ensure total compliance to the law.
The Anambra state governor said his administration would set up sickle cell clinics in the three senatorial districts of the state with state- of- the- art facilities and explained that people living with sickle cell disease would be attended to free of-charge under a Health Insurance Scheme that would commence in the Southeast state soon.
