Sickle cell disease remains one of the most prevalent genetic conditions in Nigeria, affecting millions of individuals and families. Beyond medical treatment, effective self-advocacy, informed decision-making, and strong community support often play a crucial role in improving health outcomes and enhancing quality of life for those living with the condition.
Through this webinar, KAAF Specialist Hospital aims to provide participants with practical and evidence-based information that will deepen understanding of sickle cell disease, challenge common misconceptions, and equip individuals with the confidence to make informed health decisions.
Participants will gain valuable clinical and real-world insights into living with and supporting individuals affected by sickle cell disease, making the session particularly relevant to both staff and students.
The webinar also presents an opportunity for members of the University community to engage with healthcare professionals, broaden their knowledge of sickle cell management, and contribute to creating a more informed and supportive society.
Students, members of staff, and the public are encouraged to participate in this important conversation and take advantage of the opportunity to learn, engage, and empower themselves through knowledge.
Further details on participation and access to the webinar will be communicated in due course.
