World Sickle Cell Awareness Day, observed on June 19th, raises global awareness about sickle cell disease. The inherited red blood cell disorder primarily affects people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian ancestry, leading to severe pain episodes and organ damage. While progress has been made in early diagnosis and treatment, challenges remain in healthcare access and stigma reduction. Advocacy and community engagement play crucial roles in creating a healthier future for those affected.
