TASIWA also participated as facilitators, sharing knowledge and practical experiences to strengthen the capacity of CHWs to provide accurate information, support patients and families, and address myths and misconceptions surrounding sickle cell disease.
The training covered key areas, including understanding sickle cell disease, its complications, patient care, early identification, and the importance of regular clinic visits and appropriate medical support.
We believe that equipping Community Health Workers with the right knowledge is an important step towards building informed communities and improving the quality of care for people living with sickle cell disease.
Together, we can create communities that understand, support, and care for people living with sickle cell disease.
