Early screening helps you know whether you have Sickle Cell Trait or Sickle Cell Disease. Knowing your status means better awareness, timely care, and informed family decisions.
Get screened. Know your status. Stay informed.

Sickle Cell Trait is not the same as Sickle Cell Disease. A child with the trait usually does not have the disease, but can pass the trait to their children.
Girls who have access to good healthcare are better positioned to attend school regularly, stay focused on learning, and complete their education.
Supporting girlsтАЩ health is also an investment in their education and future.

Anemia in women is often overlooked because symptoms like fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or breathlessness can be mistaken for тАЬnormalтАЭ tiredness. Recognising the signs and getting timely testing can make a difference.

Trust between doctors and sickle cell families is built through listening, clear communication, and consistent care. When families feel heard and informed, they can make better decisions and stay more confident throughout the care journey.

For girls living with illnesses like sickle cell, frequent health challenges can disrupt schooling, and they may be the first to leave when families face difficult choices.
For someone living with sickle cell disease, family support can change more than daily care; it can change how they see their future.
Understanding, encouragement, and being present can build confidence and make the journey feel less isolating.
