In partnership with LUTH, the organisation established a state-of-the-art, advanced-technology Bone Marrow Transplant Centre in Lagos. This ground-breaking procedure marks a new era in healthcare for persons living with sickle cell disease in Nigeria, reducing the need for expensive medical tourism and providing accessible, life-saving treatment to thousands of Nigerians affected by the disorder.
As Nigeria holds the world’s largest population of persons with sickle cell disorder, this groundbreaking achievement underscores the country’s significant role in leading the charge to address this global health issue.
