She said at this year’s sickle cell anaemia programme themed; “Hope Through Progress: Advancing Sickle Cell Care Globally, in Umuahia on Friday, that, “My office will continue to work closely with the ministry of health to develop and implement practical strategies that enhance sickle cell awareness, prevention and care in Abia State.”

Speaking on the theme of the programme, she said it underscored the need for the global community to adopt advancements in the care of sickle cell patients to improve their lives.

The commissioner for health, Enoch Uche, said the patients should have frequent malaria treatment as the illness exacerbates symptoms of the disease.

Contributing, the non-communicable diseases focal person, Uko Okorocha, explained that the disease poses significant challenges for patients and their families.

They urged the public, caregivers and employers to end discrimination against patients, calling for empathy and better support in their daily lives.
