The Sickle Cell Association of Uganda is committed to spreading accurate and up-to-date information about sickle cell disease (SCD) to communities, healthcare providers, and schools across the country. Through a range of outreach programs, workshops, and educational campaigns, the association aims to dispel harmful myths, eliminate misconceptions, and reduce the stigma and discrimination often faced by individuals living with SCD.
By engaging with local leaders, partnering with healthcare professionals, and empowering families with knowledge, the association seeks to promote early diagnosis, better disease management, and access to quality healthcare. Their efforts not only focus on improving the quality of life for patients but also on fostering a more inclusive society where individuals with sickle cell disease can thrive without fear of prejudice.
With increased healthcare access, individuals with SCD can lead healthier, more productive lives and reduce the frequency of severe complications.
Together, we can work towards a future where every individual living with sickle cell disease receives the care, support, and respect they deserve.
We are a grassroots organization that represents the interests of patients in Uganda. We strive to change the widespread perception in Uganda that people with sickle cell disease are worthless and deserving of stigma and discrimination.
