World Sickle Cell Day

June 19 is World Sickle Cell Awareness Day. The international awareness day is observed annually with the goal to increase public knowledge and an understanding of sickle cell disease, and the challenges experienced by patients and their families and caregivers.

This year’s global theme is “Global Action, Local Impact: Impowering Communities for Effective Self-Advocacy.” Read a statement from the Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organizations (GASCDO) on this important topic.
