Every person living with sickle cell disease deserves to be heard, supported and able to access the care they need. 🩸
Rwanda NCD Alliance has officially launched a nationwide advocacy and awareness campaign on sickle cell disease, engaging the media to educate communities and drive collective action.
We are working to:
✅ Challenge myths and address stigma.
✅ Champion newborn screening and timely diagnosis.
✅ Advocate for accessible treatment and compassionate, equitable care.
Children and adults living with sickle cell disease, alongside their families and caregivers, deserve sustained attention and support.
Together, media professionals, policymakers, healthcare providers and communities can help turn awareness into action across Rwanda.
