Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria

The formation of the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was preceded by the formation of Sickle Cell Clubs around the country and of the Federation of Sickle Cell Clubs of Nigeria in 1991. The Sickle Cell Club is a non-governmental, non-profit making patient/parent support and advocacy organization that is basically unsuited to addressing some other important issues in sickle cell disorder (SCD) control, such as, research, capacity development, policy implementation, monitoring and evaluation in a sustained manner. In order to focus on these important issues, the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria was established in November 1994, as a non-governmental and non-profit making organisation dedicated to the proper care and control of sickle cell disorder in Nigeria.

California Sickle Cell Resources

The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland was started in 1978 to deliver comprehensive care to children and adults with sickle cell disease. The sickle cell center grew quickly and was funded by the National Institutes of Health as one of ten Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers in the country. The center has been active in research nationally, conducting large multi-center trials in sickle cell disease and internationally, providing our expertise to programs abroad. The care at Children's Hospital is all inclusive, focusing on patients and their families through all of the stages of their lives - from infancy, through adolescence, to a successful adulthood. While pediatric and adult programs have separate staffs, there are also shared staff who bridge the transition to adult care. Center providers are experts in sickle cell disease, transfusion medicine, and bone marrow transplantation. Our center collaborates in national studies to promote better treatment for sickle cell disease and is recognized as an innovator for new therapies. Social media
