As we continue to navigate the complexities of healthcare in Uganda, one critical issue remains at the forefront of our collective consciousness: sickle cell disease. A condition affecting millions worldwide, sickle cell disease demands our attention, understanding, and action.

In response to this pressing need, we invite you to join us at the Sickle Cell Convention 2025, taking place on July 11th at Jinja City Hall. This event is more than just a gathering – it’s a platform for education, advocacy, and community building.

Understanding Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin production, leading to abnormal red blood cells that can cause a range of health complications. In Uganda, where the disease is prevalent, it’s essential that we come together to address the challenges faced by those living with sickle cell disease.
