Last week, stakeholders met at the Ministry of Health, Ghana headquarters in Accra as part of Ghana’s Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of sickle cell disease (SCD).

Discussions focused on newborn screening and point-of-care technologies, catch-up screening for children who missed screening at birth, and improved access to hydroxyurea. Participants also proposed two additional areas for assessment: blood-related aspects of SCD care; and SCD education, counselling and awareness.

Healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates and persons living with SCD called for practical, equitable and sustainable solutions to reduce the burden of SCD in Ghana.

We thank the Ministry of Health and the Clinton Health Access Initiative for the opportunity to contribute to this important national dialogue. We look forward to seeing the recommendations inform policy and translate into improved services and outcomes for people affected by SCD in Ghana.

As the world marked World Sickle Cell Day this June, ISCC used the moment to advance a national conversation on sickle cell disease in Ghana.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the Ghana Health Service and our partners, ISCC convened the 3rd Annual Sickle Cell Disease Conference in Accra, Ghana, to reflect on Ghana's progress, examine the challenges that remain, and identify practical actions to strengthen the country's response to sickle cell disease.

The conversations may have ended, but the work continues.

Over the next 12 months, we look forward to seeing the commitments made translated into meaningful action that improves prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease.

Together, we move forward—for God and country.

It was a powerful gathering at ISCC's 3rd Annual Sickle Cell Disease Conference, organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service.

Government leaders, healthcare professionals, development partners, researchers, patient advocates, caregivers, and organisations including World Health Organization Ghana, National Health Insurance Authority, , Ghana Education Service Office of the National Chief Imam, Christian Council, GHAFTRAM, and many others came together with one shared purpose: to change the sickle cell narrative in Ghana.

We reflected on the current state of sickle cell disease in Ghana, recognised the progress made, examined the challenges that remain, and reaffirmed the need for greater awareness, universal newborn screening, stronger health systems, and better care for every individual and family affected by the condition.

Thank you to all our partners, speakers, volunteers, and participants for standing with the sickle cell community.

Now, the real work begins.
