Through the partnership with HYGEIA HMO, we were able to provide counsellors to help give medical advice to beneficiaries.
The theme of the event was addressed by Dr. Annette Akinsete (CEO Sickle Cell Foundation Of Nigeria) which helped give a better understanding of SCD.
Beneficiaries were able to express themselves and narrate their ordeal.
Two elderly living survivors were provided and they were also able to give advice as to how to live a better life with or without SCD.
