Global NCDI Poverty Network commissioner, Julie Makani moderates this excellent discussion on #SCD and #COVID19. “How can we, as scientists and healthcare providers, learn about COVID and it’s affect on #SCD, both directly and indirectly due to challenges accessing care?”
👏 We join voices with World Obesity on the inclusion of #NCDs in a draft resolution on #COVID19 - #WHA73 “It is vital that short- & long-term policy responses to #COVID19 ensure necessary access to healthcare for people living with obesity & build on the NCD “Best Buys”.”

I am looking to partner with a different kind of funder/donor to support Africa Sickle Cell Organisation work. A partner who is willing to provide flexible unrestricted funding that allows us to ensure people living with Sickle Cell in Kenya have a chance in reaching their full potential.
