WORLD SICKLE CELL DISEASE DAY 2026 North (Garoua)
As part of the celebration of World Sickle Cell Day 2026, the Break Sickle Cycle Garoua team (Northern Region), deployed in the town of Touboro, conducted a large-scale awareness campaign under the supervision of our regional coordinator, Mr. Tiku Kevin, with the invaluable support of our dedicated volunteers:
* Mr. Wilba Parfait
* Mr. Kameni Gaétan
* Ms. Monique
This activity informed, educated, and raised awareness among the population about sickle cell disease, its consequences, the importance of early detection, and preventive measures.
Through direct interaction, the team reached out to many residents, addressed their concerns, and helped to dismantle the prejudices surrounding this still poorly understood genetic disease.
This mobilization demonstrates Break Sickle Cycle's ongoing commitment to bringing information closer to communities and strengthening the fight against sickle cell disease in all regions of Cameroon.
We extend our sincere congratulations to the entire team in Garoua (North) for their dedication, professionalism, and exemplary involvement in this noble public health mission.
Together, let's raise awareness, screen, and take action to reduce the impact of sickle cell disease in our communities.
