During the commemoration of World Sickle Cell Day, we congratulate the Government of Tanzania on launching the new National Guidelines for Sickle Cell Disease Control. This milestone marks an important step towards strengthening early diagnosis, prevention, and the quality of care for people living with Sickle Cell Disease.
We continue to advocate for early genetic and newborn screening, stronger collaboration between communities and healthcare stakeholders, and the elimination of stigma and discrimination. Through collective action and commitment, we can increase public awareness, improve access to quality healthcare, and enhance the lives of individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease.
