Nigeria has one of the highest burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) in the world. For families, this diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but there is hope. At PediaPlace, we believe in treating not just the condition, but the child and family as a whole.
What Is Sickle Cell Disease?
SCD is a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescents. These cells break down early and block blood flow, leading to pain and other complications.
Challenges Children Face
- Pain crises that interfere with school and play
- Fatigue and frequent hospital visits
