Nigeria has 40 million carriers of the sickle cell trait, the largest in the world.
150,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) in Nigeria each year.
Nigeria accounts for one-third of the global burden of babies born with the sickle cell disease (SCD).
Our Education Program sensitizes and educates young people, health workers and the general public on sickle cell disease (SCD) and its management. Through the program, we also conduct free genotype testing for students.
Since inception we have been at the forefront of curtailing the stigmatization associated with Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD), eradicating misconceptions about SCD through public sensitization activities, dissemination of practical knowledge and information about SCD for dealing with and managing the disorder.
