What a game for Morocco's Neil El Aynaoui ๐
Took a nasty knee from Scott McTominay in the first half that left him bleeding and playing on with a tissue in his mouth.
Then had his shirt torn in the second half during a corner ๐ฎโ๐จ
WORLD SICKLE CELL DAY 2026 MESSAGE.
Today, as the world commemorates World Sickle Cell Day, we pause not only to recognize a disease but to acknowledge the countless lives, dreams, struggles, and victories of millions of people living with sickle cell disease across the globe.
Behind every sickle cell diagnosis is a child yearning to play without pain, a parent silently battling fear and uncertainty, a young person fighting to pursue education and employment despite repeated hospital admissions, and families making impossible choices between treatment and survival. Their stories are not statisticsโthey are human lives deserving of dignity, opportunity, and hope.
For far too long, sickle cell disease has remained a silent public health challenge, claiming lives, limiting potential, and placing enormous emotional and financial burdens on families. Yet, this burden is preventable. Knowledge is power. Testing saves lives. Early diagnosis transforms futures. Access to treatment restores hope.
At Catherine Phil Sickle Cell Support Initiative, we believe that no child should die because they were born with sickle cell disease. No family should suffer because they lacked access to information, testing, counseling, or affordable treatment. And no community should remain uninformed when solutions exist.
Today, we call upon governments, development partners, researchers, healthcare workers, religious leaders, cultural institutions, schools, media houses, and communities to stand together and make sickle cell disease a national and global priority. We must invest in mandatory and accessible sickle cell testing, expand newborn screening services, ensure affordable access to Hydroxyurea and other essential treatments, strengthen research and innovation, and dedicate sustainable funding towards comprehensive sickle cell programs.
To every person living with sickle cell disease: You are stronger than the pain you endure. You are more than your diagnosis. Your courage inspires us, and your voice matters. We stand with you today and every day.
As we commemorate World Sickle Cell Day 2026, let us move beyond awareness to action, beyond sympathy to commitment, and beyond promises to measurable change.
Together, we can create a future where every child born has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life free from preventable suffering.
Transforming Care. Strengthening Communities. Leaving No One Behind.
Happy World Sickle Cell Day 2026

Happening Now |@MinofHealthUG
Ahead of the commemoration of World Sickle Cell Day, the Director General of Health Services at the #MinistryOfHealthUganda has called upon all stakeholders to intensify efforts towards combating sickle cell disease through coordinated, community-centered interventions.
He emphasized the need for strengthened community awareness and education, enhanced referral linkages, informed reproductive decision-making, and a robust national response that cascades effectively to regional and community levels. He further underscored the critical role of religious leaders, political leaders, cultural institutions, civil society organizations, researchers, and development partners in championing sustainable action against sickle cell disease.
The Director General also advocated for a realistic and strategic pathway towards the elimination of sickle cell disease through the integration of sickle cell interventions into existing health programs, expansion of early diagnosis and newborn screening services, improved access to quality care and treatment, comprehensive genetic counseling, and sustained public awareness campaigns.
His call to action serves as a timely reminder that ending the burden of sickle cell disease requires collective responsibility, long-term investment, and unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child and family affected by sickle cell disease can live healthier, longer, and more productive lives.

By court time today, his pressure was reading 200/100, medically speaking, this is a hypertensive crisis that requires urgent attention.
With such a scary condition, prosecution still fought his prayer of at least being detained from a health facility!!
