SickleInAfrica #WorldSickleCellDay webinar. Dr Deogratias Munube (SickleInAfrica Uganda site) makes an urgent call to prioritize research on sexual and reproductive health in sickle cell disease #SickleCell.
Great presentation from Dr Lawrence from Ghana on Sexual Reproduction and SCD! Thanks to the patient support groups for suggesting this topic and @synthymama for supporting them.

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.

If a #SickleCell (or any) patient reports 10/10 pain, it’s 10/10 pain.
Documentation or verbal report should never say “patient reports 10/10 pain BUT…”
There is no BUT, treat the pain.
I read and hear this all too often and it results in inadequate pain management

It's not the labels, stigma or redicule that comes with being a sickle cell Warrior that matters.... but the strength and endurance to bear the sickle cell pain during a crisis and emerge even stronger out of it as a resilient warrior. 💪
