| dc.description.abstract | This Bill seeks to mandates compulsory genotype screening for all couples
before the issuance of marriage certificates to reduce the incidence of sickle
cell disease, which places a significant strain on families and the health
system. By ensuring that couples are aware of their genotypes before
marriage, this Act aims to promote public health and reduce the prevalence
of genetic disorders. | en_US |
