Focus on Sickle Cell Foundation seeks to introduce sickle cell education through comics in Ghanaian schools

The Focus on Sickle Cell Foundation (FoSCel) has formally submitted a set of educational comic strips on Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) to the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) for review and consideration for use in Ghana’s schools.

The Foundation said the experience from the pilot had strengthened its conviction that age-appropriate and engaging educational materials could help equip young people with accurate information about Sickle Cell Disease from an early stage.

FoSCel said the comic strips had been designed as age-appropriate resources to make Sickle Cell Disease education easier and more engaging for young learners.
