Sickle Cell Disease Screening

In Burkina Faso, roughly one million people are living with sickle cell disease, the most prevalent inherited disease in Africa. Proper management and awareness are crucial to improving health outcomes for children and families. With your gift, you can provide children with a screening to identify their status. This gift also includes counselling for caregivers, which supports them in understanding the risks of the condition, the treatment needed and early intervention strategies as trait carriers.
