A tribal ministry said more than 73.1 million people were screened for sickle cell disease over a three-year period. The headline presents this as the ministry’s account and does not provide independent confirmation. [1]

No additional details about where the screenings took place, who was screened, or how the figures were compiled were included in the headline. The report should be treated as attributed information rather than verified fact. [1]
