Nana had lived a normal life until she went to hospital for blood tests two months into her first pregnancy. Nana was told she had a sickle cell gene. Now imagine her shock having been born in a family of 8 siblings who never had any symptoms of sickle cell.

“The doctor predicted that my child would have sickle cells because I had the gene. I was surprised because I did not know of anyone in my lineage with such a disorder,” Nana says.The health statistics on sickle cell kids gives me sleepless nights she added.

Ignorance is not an excuse, Nana still has HOPE but you can prevent this.
Get tested, Know your status and make good decisions.
