Isaac Okello: The Real Sickle Cell Crisis Is Not Only the Disease Itself
Isaac Okello, Global Genes Leadership Council Member, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The real sickle cell crisis is not only the disease itself.
It is the silence around it.
It is the child suffering in a village unseen.
It is the mother blamed instead of being supported.
It is the long journey to care that many families never complete.
And until healthcare, awareness, and support systems reach the most remote villages, sickle cell disease will remain a hidden humanitarian crisis affecting thousands of families every single day.”
