Background: sickle cell anaemia is a haemoglobin disorder which is autosomal recessive. As it is inherited disorder it is prevalent more in tribal population of India. Surguja district of Chhattisgarh also has a predominance o of tribal population.
Aim: Aim of this study is to find the incidence of sickle cell disease in the tribal population attending the tertiary referral hospital of surguja district.

Conclusion: Education and counselling should be done to prevent sickle cell disease among the tribal of surguja district of chattisgarh.
