A major benefit from this new technology is the reduction in mortality of newborns in India and around the world. In addition, neonatal screenings provide new information to those researching this disease. However, while there are many pros from this technology, there are also many cons present. There is still a great lack of information present in both the United States and India. The lack of resources is also very prevalent in India today which in turn leads to a lower access to treatment and a higher mortality and diagnosis rate. Studies suggest a need for enhanced efforts to support statewide comprehensive systems of care for children affected by sickle cell disease. Although the screenings are constantly discovering new parts of this disease, there are many aspects that make it difficult to be shown as an improvement seeing that mortality is still occurring rapidly from this disease due to a lack of knowledge
