At the Diaspora Community Dialogue, Mrs. Janet Ohene-Frempong made a powerful call to President John Dramani Mahama:

🩸 Include early infant screening for sickle cell disease
💊 Ensure access to hydroxyurea

Speaking from lived experience—as a mother who lost her son to Sickle Cell Disease, and as the wife of the late Prof. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong—her message was clear and deeply personal.

In response, President Mahama reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to integrating sickle cell screening and treatment into the free primary healthcare bill.

This is more than policy.
It is a moment of decision.

Will Ghana act?
