Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria

Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria A global nonprofit leader in the fight against sickle cell disorder (SCD), championing the prevention, care, cure, and control of SCD ❤️🌍

The formation of the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was preceded by the formation of Sickle Cell Clubs around the country and of the Federation of Sickle Cell Clubs of Nigeria in 1991. The Sickle Cell Club is a non-governmental, non - profit making patient/parent support and advocacy organization that is basically unsuited to addressing some other important issues in sickle cell disorder (SCD) con

trol, such as, research, capacity development, policy implementation, monitoring and evaluation in a sustained manner. In order to focus on these important issues, the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was established in November 1994, as a non-governmental and non-profit making organisation dedicated to the proper care and control of sickle cell disorder in Nigeria.

A SHORT STORY TO THINK ABOUT

Two teenagers were accompanied by their school matron into the foundation for a comprehensive blood work as a part of their admission requirements. One looked healthy and energetic, and he was so sure he was AS. His friend, on the other hand, looked pale and often fell sick, so he was convinced he couldn’t be AA.

A few days later, the results came in:
The one who *looked strong* had the SS genotype and had never experienced a crisis. The one who looked sick? He was simply dealing with severe dehydration.

Here’s the point: Sickle Cell does not have a specific look. Someone might have yellow eyes or appear weak, but that alone doesn’t mean they have Sickle Cell.
✨ Don’t judge by appearance.
🩺 Always confirm a person’s genotype.
