Bahrain Mirror: Sayed Abbas Sayed Kadhem (40 years old) from the Bahraini village of Saar was the first victim of Sickle Cell Anaemia in 2016.

Kadhem was admitted to the hospital on August 2015 due to complications of Sickle Cell Anaemia and was transferred to the intensive care unit. The complications of the disease had increased on January 8, 2016 and thus he was transferred to intensive care for a second time. He died on Wednesday (January 13, 2016).

It is noteworthy that with his death, the Sayed Kadhem family records its third death in the family caused by Sickle disease, as already losing two of his sisters to the same illness. About 40 days ago, his sister, Jalila Kadhem, was named the 30th of last year's casualties on December 3, 2015.

The Bahrain Society for Sickle Cell Anaemia Patient Care mourned the death of one of its founding members who helped registered the society in the Ministry of Development in 2006 and who was one of the society's important figures in its first few years.

Haj Maatouk Omran (65 yearsold ), from Mahaza in the island of Sitra, passed away on Wednesday (January 13, 2016). According to the society, he died as a result of sickle disease complications. He is considered to be the second victim of Sickle Cell Anemia in 2016.
