FoSCel urges Ghanaians to know their genotype
The Focus on Sickle Cell Foundation (FoSCel) has called for increased public education, genotype awareness and greater support for people living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) as Ghana joins the global community to mark Sickle Cell Awareness Month in September.
As part of its awareness campaign, the Foundation is particularly encouraging young Ghanaians to know their genotype and develop a better understanding of Sickle Cell Disease.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, Spetember 1, the Foundation stressed that genotype awareness should not be treated only as a consideration when people are preparing for marriage, but should instead form part of broader health education and informed decision-making.
