Sickle cell disease remains one of the most common inherited blood disorders, yet access to comprehensive care is still out of reach for many. On #WorldSickleCellDay, we join the call to close the survival gap through equitable access to screening, treatment, and support services for all.

My sister, Atanda Khadijat Arinola (26), is a warrior. Living with Sickle Cell (SS) is a battle, but now she’s facing Avascular Necrosis (AVN). Her hip bones are dying, and she can no longer walk without help. @Wizarab10 @adekunleGOLD @Sickle_Matters

#Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, and early detection makes all the difference. Abnormal white blood cells grow fast, weaken immunity, and trigger repeated infections, fatigue, fever, bruising, and bone pain. #Leukemia #BloodCancer #CancerAwareness #MedsurgeIndia
