Other important information displayed was “the hospital will work with the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria so that patients would not have to travel to India for bone marrow transplant and other sickle cell disease problems.”What was stressed was that “Nigeria is already doing well in its treatment, adding that more can be done as sickle cell is very much a black people’s problem.”
