Millennium Fellowship Project: The Sickle Cell Campaign

This project is dedicated to raising awareness about sickle cell disease among junior high school students and their communities. Inspired by real-life encounters during clinical rotations, the campaign seeks to educate individuals on the causes, symptoms, complications, and management of sickle cell disease. Through interactive sessions, we aim to simplify complex genetic concepts like genotype compatibility (AA, AS, SS) and inheritance patterns, emphasizing the importance of genetic testing and informed decision-making.
Additionally, the campaign highlights the critical role of physiotherapy in managing sickle cell-related complications, improving quality of life, and fostering community support. By incorporating fun activities, breathing exercises, and engaging Q&A sessions, this project strives to make learning impactful and memorable.
The ultimate goal is to empower students with knowledge, reduce stigma, and build a supportive network for individuals living with sickle cell disease.
