WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SICKLE CELL
Pan-Africa Health Initiative Pan-AFHI is a Pan-African Organiza-
tion working for a quality and better health system for Africans.
Pan-AFHI seeks to go beyond addressing the consequences of
poor health by understanding, challenging and changing the condi-
tions that cause poor health and exclusion through its Programs
that unites practical work, research and advocacy. Pan-AFHI be-
lieves that people have a right to quality and better health care sys-
tems as a basic human need as stated in the Sustainable Develop-
ment Goals (SDG3), thus we work in a common course for the
poor and marginalized including Rural Communities who have
been denied and/deprived or simply for some reason or another do
not have access to their rights to basic and/or quality health ser-
vices, to help them understand, challenge and change these condi-
tions. Pan-AFHI’s response to the health challenges of Africa is
firmly based on a belief that people themselves are the agents of
change and actors of their own development. People’s ability to
take action on the causes of poor health is what will transform Af-
rica’s future especially our health system. This belief underpins
Pan-AFHI’s practical work, its research methodologies and advo-
cacy. Pan-AFHI will work in partnership with local Civil Society
Organizations (CSO) and communities and in alliance with other
International and continental organizations in Africa and the rest
of the world to achieve its aims and objectives.
