We are pleased to introduce Docteur Gaudy Issangui, Break Sickle Cycle Ambassador in Congo-Brazzaville, physician, public health researcher, sickle cell disease expert, and committed advocate for global health.
The countdown is on for the 2026 Break Sickle Cycle International Summit on Sickle Cell Disease, to be held on December 4 and 5, 2026, at the Krystal Palace in Douala, Cameroon.
This major event will bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, organizations, advocates, and communities from around the world with a common goal: to advance the fight against sickle cell disease.
Why sickle cell disease?
Because it should no longer be considered a silent tragedy.
It affects millions of people, profoundly impacts families, and represents a major public health and development challenge in Africa and around the world.
The Summit will be a space for dialogue, mobilization, sharing experiences, and developing concrete actions to advance prevention, screening, access to care, research, innovation, and support for people living with sickle cell disease.
