Antigua and Barbuda Sickle Cell Association

Antigua and Barbuda Sickle Cell Association A dedicated support organization for patients with Sickle Cell Disorders and their families. ABSCA relies entirely on donations and fundraisers.

The Antigua & Barbuda Sickle Cell Association is constantly working to improve awareness of and knowledge about sickle cell disease. Some of our projects are: regular seminars for patients and families, the biennial National Sickle Cell Conference for both the general public and medical professionals, fundraisers and awareness projects. We have achieved implementation of newborn screening for Anti

gua and Barbuda in September 2020. We have established a Sheltered Workshop for patients who are unable to maintain work, due to their severe course of illness. We are still trying to operationalize a Sickle Cell Clinic, since treatment for painful crises should be delivered at specialized unit, where health care providers experienced in the treatment of Sickle Cell crises are able to help quickly and efficiently. Any help is sincerely appreciated. Donations can be made to our ECAB account. For more information:

As medical providers, we care about our patients and want to do the best by them. But it is difficult under any given circumstance to fully appreciate someone else’s situation.

Lived experiences, recounted by both local and international Sickle Cell patients, their families and medical providers, have been compiled into a book published under the title “Voices of Sickle Cell”.

The Sickle Cell Association has donated 165 copies of this book to our medical professionals at SLBMC. Thank you to the SLBMC Management for joining in this initiative!
