Through the KETAN SCD Project, funded by the Pierre Fabre Foundation, TASIWA trained 34 healthcare workers from Mbogwe District in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) management. The training was facilitated by specialist doctors from Bugando Zonal Referral Hospital and covered early infant diagnosis, emergency and routine care, appropriate use and dosing of Hydroxyurea and other essential medicines, and comprehensive care for children living with SCD.
The training aimed to strengthen healthcare workers’ knowledge and practical skills to deliver timely, high-quality, and evidence-based care. By investing in healthcare capacity, TASIWA and its partners are working to improve health outcomes, prevent avoidable complications, and enhance the quality of life of children and young people living with Sickle Cell Disease.
