The authors appreciate the prevalence of drepanocytosis in a supposed healthy group of blood donors at the Transfusion Center. They propose to carry out a systematic detection of the various hemoglobin types existing in the isle at all stages of active-life: birth, school-time, prenatal consultations, controls for enrolment in the army, etc. They describe the action of the "mother and child protection service" which could develop information and genetic advice to try to limit the dissemination of the drepanocytic tract as well as to avoid the birth of homozygotes. To improve the control, they suggest to print the hemoglobin type on the blood group card of each citizen.
