Francis Appiah-Kubi: How Malaria Shaped the Evolution of Sickle Cell Disease

Francis Appiah-Kubi, Bachelor of Science, Pharmacy at Knust, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“The origin of sickle cell anemia.

About thousands of years ago, the mutation causing sickle cell disease arose in Africa to help protect against malaria, the major cause of death there historically.

Overtime, as sickle cell disease emerged, it became known by different tribal languages in Africa, long before it was discovered in western medicine.”
