🩸 SICKLE CELL IS NOT WITCHCRAFT.

It is a genetic blood disorder passed through genes from parents to their children. It is not a curse, punishment, or something contagious

💙 Let’s replace myths with facts stigma with support and fear with understanding

Sickle cell trait ≠ sickle cell disease.

AS (trait): no symptoms, normal life.
SS (disease): gene from both parents.

Two AS carriers = 25% risk per pregnancy of an SS child.

Know your genotype. #SickleCellAwarenessMonth

🩸 “Sickle cell? Si ile ya maumivu tu?” 🤔

Actually… there’s more to it.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited condition that changes the shape and behaviour of red blood cells Instead of being flexible and moving easily through blood vessels, some cells become sickle-shaped

[Nairobi NCDs Advocacy Chapter @nairobincd]

🚨 “I feel fine, so I’m fine.” 🤔

Not always. Hypertension can have no obvious symptoms while quietly damaging your ❤️ heart, 🧠 brain & 🫘 kidneys.

🩺 Check your BP regularly
🧂 Cut down on salt
🏃🏾 Stay active
🚭 Avoid smoking & limit alcohol
🥛 Drink plenty of water
