The end of September doesn't end the work. Advocacy has no timeline so let's keep advocating.

[UMASCCO (Umoja Africa Sickle Cell Consortia) @UMASCCO_Africa]

The curtain may be closing on #SickleCellDiseaseAwarenessMonth, but our work is far from over.
SCD advocacy must be a year-round commitment.

We need a September-to-September cycle of continuous action. Join us! Many drops make an ocean. 🌊

#DidYouKnow? Many kids don't know about #SickleCellDisease?

The school is the FIRST place to promote #SCD awareness.

Let's educate pupils/students to create a stigma-free future & support classmates with SCD.

This is urgent!

Saviez-vous que le #dépistagegénétique avant le mariage peut aider à enrayer la transmission de la #drépanocytose ?

En le rendant obligatoire, les nations peuvent s'assurer que les couples sont informés pour faire des choix éclairés pour leur avenir et celui de leurs enfants.

When we voice it out, know that we have already reached our tolerance threshold. Because you don't see it doesn't mean it is not there.

Believe Us when we say we are in pain and show a little empathy 🙏🏾

[UMASCCO (Umoja Africa Sickle Cell Consortia) @UMASCCO_Africa]

A painful reality for many with #SickleCellDisease:

"I'm in pain, I need help." "Are you sure? You don't look like it."
The mildest #SCD pain can be an 8/10. When a patient arrives at the ER, they are likely at a 10/10.

Treat every case as a near-emergency.

Plus de 500 000 bébés dans le 🌎naissent avec la #drépanocytose chaque année, surtout en #Afrique. Sans dépistage néonatal, beaucoup ne survivent pas à l'âge de 5 ans. Il est temps de militer pour un dépistage national obligatoire. Luttons pour le droit de chaque enfant à la vie.

[ARREY-ECHI @arreyechi01]

Very necessary

Le #MoisDeLaSensibilisationÀLaDrépanocytose continue !
Connaissez-vous votre génotype ?
C'est la première étape vers une vie plus saine.
Faites-vous dépister et encouragez vos amis à faire de même.
