Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Foundation - SCDAF

This year 2023, the World Sickle Disease Day theme is “Building and strengthening Global Sickle Cell Communities, Formalizing New-born Screening and Knowing your Sickle Cell Disease Status”, a call to recognise the first step (understanding the genotype in infants and adults) in fighting sickle cell disease.

We shall continue to raise awareness about sickle cell disease (SCD) and its impact on individuals, families and communities worldwide.

Each year, on June 19, countries all over the world celebrate World Sickle Cell Day, which was initially presented as a resolution by the United Nations in 2008.

The goal of this day mostly is to recognize sickle cell anemia as a public health problem and promote education about this genetic condition.

The month of September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month and it is represented by the burgundy awareness ribbon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I'd like to see how many different places we can get. I'll start.....
Merry Christmas from Georgia!
