#ChalIenge
I know my Sickle Cell status #MyGenotype, do you know yours?
Give it a benefit of a doubt and take that #rapidtest even with no family history of Sickle Cell. It's worthy knowing and be part of the fight for a future free sickle cell community.

SICKLE CELL AWARENESS.

20% to 25% of the Zambian population is a carrier and 1% to 2% of children born in Zambia have the disease.

As a Public Health practitioner this is something I feel is necessary for everyone to know. Kindly tune in via Facebook.
