You will stand. You will fall. You will rise again. Such are the challenges in life. Nothing lasts in this world. Forever is in Hereafter.

I think having small friendly interactions with strangers is so important for humanity.

❗️AVASCULAR NECROSIS

Or simply put 'death of bone tissue' caused by a lack of blood supply. Sickled cells can block the flow in vessels that provide blood to bones, therefore limiting oxygen supply, causing tissue to die.

We built a game to help drive awareness of sickle cell disease, reflecting our commitment to making a difference in this space || with our fam at mortal crescent leading the efforts

@mortalcrescents @arudemgaming Sickle Cell Warriors [HbSS] are required to eat lots of leafy green vegetables & drink 2 - 3 litres of fluids (fewer ltrs for children) to boost their iron & oxygen levels.

Let's be the ambassadors of change and make screening of hb genotypes mandatory! Let's also end stigma by learning about the nature of the sickle cell condition. Dare to learn!

💛Did you know that the sickle cell condition is not contagious!?

[Mortal Crescents @mortalcrescents]

The sickle cell condition is one that's not yet fully understood by many, which creates room for stigma and significantly contributes to the high mortality rate of children under 5 in Uganda.

[Martina Nalunkuma @_marty_en]

@mortalcrescents 💛 Did you know that carriers of the sickle cell trait [HbAS] do not exhibit symptoms of SCD!?

[Mortal Crescents @mortalcrescents]

💛 Did you know that is takes both parents for a child to have the sickle cell condition!?

❗️The visual attached is a demonstration of 3 Hb Genotypes, showcased to guests at Art & Talk Sickle Cell September that happened last Saturday. Do you know your haemoglobin genotype?

There's a silent outcry, but also, there is hope; by all us coming together, learning the nature of the sickle cell condition, learning how hb gene inheritance works, and taking on responsibility of knowing your haemoglobin genotype.
