These new treatments are like a distant, gleaming hospital in a city I have only heard of. They work by editing a patient’s own cells, a true marvel, but for me in Assam, they mean a long wait for something that may never reach our local blood banks. My life is managed here, day by day, with hydroxyurea and my mother’s herbal poultices. The real meaning for India is not the science, but the question of who will bear the cost—a question that already keeps me awake, calculating my son’s fees against my next crisis.
