Phase N/A
**Multi Disciplinary Sickle Cell Disease Obstetrics Care Program in Ghana** This study is about helping pregnant women with sickle cell disease (SCD) in Ghana. Sickle cell disease is a condition that affects the blood and can cause serious health problems. The study aims to see if a program that uses a team of different health experts can lower the risk of death for these women. The study will take place in a non-academic hospital, which means it's not connected to a university and might have fewer resources. **Key Points:** - **Participation:** Pregnant women with SCD aged 18-45, up to 34 weeks pregnant, attending the non-academic hospital can join. - **Length & Visits:** Participants will be followed during their pregnancy and after childbirth. - **Compensation & Risks:** No specific compensation mentioned; risks include managing SCD-related complications. The study hopes to reduce maternal deaths by 50% using a "multidisciplinary" approach, which means involving various health professionals like obstetricians and hematologists (blood specialists). If successful, this program could be a model for improving care in other places with limited resources.
