Neonatal screening and ongoing follow-up of children with sickle cell disease are essential to reduce the mortality caused by this disease. To ensure care continuity, it is essential to include in the patient's record the history and details of biological tests. Thus, it is necessary to provide a Laboratory Information System for electronic management of biological test prescription and results, and the laboratory system must integrate well with Health Information Systems. In this paper, we propose a Laboratory Information System for the management of biological tests for the neonatal screening and healthcare of sickle cell disease in Senegal.
