Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a severe inherited blood disorder where the mutated form of hae-moglobin brings about modification in red blood cells making it rigid and shaped like a "C" or sickle, giving the disease its name. Sickle-cell disease is much more prevalent in African regions however population migration has spread these diseases to most countries. There is a wide discrepancy in data in the existing literature regarding the menace of SCD. These data re-quire further analysis for better accuracy. This study aims at a comprehensive report regarding the prevalence of SCD compared at global, interstates of India and within districts of Odisha. This Meta-analysis is conducted under PRISMA guidelines. Statistical data collected from da-tabases, reference resources and published articles were used for the systematic search. The scale-up of scientific interventions for the management of SCD to improve public health is briefly discussed.
