“As someone living with , it is my hope that new medications become more accessible to patients in developing countries. I also hope that governments and health authorities in these countries recognize as a public health priority and strengthen partnerships with patient-based organizations to implement national policies such as newborn screening. This will not only facilitate early diagnosis and treatment, it will also reduce the prevalence of in the long term. Additionally, initiatives that increase education and help alleviate the stigma and inequities faced by patients at health institutions are needed.” - René Esdaille, Board Member, Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organizations

People with Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) usually do not have any of the symptoms of sickle cell disease (SCD), but they can pass the trait on to their children.

HOW SICKLE CELL TRAIT IS INHERITED?
• If both parents have SCT, there is a 50% (or 1 in 2) chance that any child of theirs also will have SCT, if the child inherits the sickle cell gene from one of the parents. Such children will not have symptoms of SCD, but they can pass SCT on to their children.
• If both parents have SCT, there is a 25% (or 1 in 4) chance that any child of theirs will have SCD. There is the same 25% (or 1 in 4) chance that the child will not have SCD or SCT.

Remember to on Sickle Cell as we celebrate this year's
