Our aim is to provide facts and dispel misinformation so that:
• Sickle Cell Warriors and their families will receive the most well-informed health care available in Ghana.
• Sickle cell Warriors and their families will receive the social respect and support that they need and deserve.
• People in the general public can make informed genetic decisions when they are planning to have children.
• The Government of Ghana will receive public support it needs for implementing its Strategic Plan for SCD
Our goal is to raise awareness of Sickle Cell Disease from its current 15% impact (in 2025) to 75% in 3 years.
Through our community outreach efforts, we have made 25% progress towards our objective.
We engage in ongoing media campaigns to promote Awareness and Education of Sickle Cell Disease across the country.
This includes annual field campaigns, and routine media publications, radio, TV and social media education campaigns.
We then enroll individuals, as needed, into the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) program and connect them with the assigned healthcare center within their community for further care and treatment (and/or further in-depth screening?)
