This work aimed to approach Sickle Cell Anemia from the standpoint of medical anthropology, from the perspective of health, disease and culture, not only addressing the disease as a biological event, but also other socio-cultural aspects of the individual. This is a descriptive, theoretical-reflexive analysis-type study. Seeking to know the disease, its treatment and complications within the socio-cultural context are important to contribute to possible changes in the perspective with the individual regarding this morbidity. Having the field of public health in development, an approach beyond the technical molds for the treatment of diseases, a multidisciplinary approach is needed to meet the needs of the population, to provide patient-centered care for their social, psychological and cultural context.
