Sickle cell disease is the world’s most common genetic illness—yet it remains one of the most neglected. In sub-Saharan Africa, half of all children with the disease die before the age of five due to lack of treatment and access to care. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is working in Niger, Central African Republic, Kenya, and Uganda to change this—offering long-term care, education, vaccinations, and access to life-saving drugs like hydroxyurea. But challenges remain: high drug costs, lack of funding, and limited laboratory facilities mean too many children are still left to suffer. This video sheds light on the reality of sickle cell disease, the fight for affordable treatment, and the urgent need to bring care closer to patients. 👉 Learn more. Share their story.
