Julie Kennedy Lesch: Driving Progress for People Living with Sickle Cell Disease
Julie Kennedy Lesch, Director at Center for Sickle Cell Disease Initiatives, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, adding:
“Proud to share this important article from our Sickle Cell Disease Task Force at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) outlining a collective commitment to advancing care, research, and policy for individuals living with sickle cell disease.
Although sickle cell disease affects more than 7 million people globally, it remains under-resourced and overlooked within health systems and research agendas.
This piece highlights how ASH and a broad coalition of stakeholders are working to change that through coordinated strategy, scientific rigor, and sustained investment in innovation.
Grateful to be part of a community pushing for measurable progress and better outcomes for people living with SCD worldwide.”
Title: ASH’s commitment to SCD: building on 10 years of progress
