Africa carries more than 70% of the global burden of sickle cell disease, yet millions still face delayed diagnosis, limited treatment access, inadequate specialised care, and preventable deaths. In Kampala, health leaders, experts, and partners gathered for a pivotal workshop on sickle cell disease and other inherited blood disorders under the theme: “A Coordinated Continental Response.” Through coordinated planning, budgeting, and action, @AfricanUnion Member States are working toward scalable and sustainable solutions that improve care and save lives across the continent. #SickleCellDisease #RareDiseases #HealthSecurity
