Sickle Cell Disease (CSD) is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells that resemble crescents or sickles. These cells can block blood flow, causing severe anaemia, episodes of severe pain, recurrent infections, as well as medical emergencies like strokes, sepsis or organ failures.

Today is World Sickle Cell Day!!!

World Sickle Cell Day is a United Nations-recognized day to raise sickle cell awareness nationally and internationally. A resolution of the United Nations General Assembly was passed on the 22nd of December 2008, recognizing sickle cell disease as a public health hazard and one of the world's main genetic illnesses.
The resolution calls on members of the United Nations to raise sickle cell disease awareness on a national and international scale on the 19th of June each year.

Theme:
The theme for the 2025 World Sickle Disease Day is “Global Action, Local Impact: Empowering Communities for Effective Self-Advocacy”. This theme focuses on uniting local communities and the global community to support sickle cell disease patients.

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in Ghana (54.8%) and about 133,000 people are blind from just cataracts. The good news is that blindness from age-related cataracts is reversible with surgical interventions. Let's overcome patient-related and provider-related barriers to getting access to quality cataract surgical services together. Get help, get treatment. Thank you, United Service To Africa (USTA) for your support in this venture over the past 3 years. Let's share the gift of sight.
