Description


Living with sickle cell disease in Nigeria often means enduring pain, managing uncertainty, and surviving with little support.


Many people don’t even know they carry the sickle cell gene until it’s too late.
Others grow up with the condition but have no access to proper care, accurate information, or emotional guidance.

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we speak to individuals directly affected by sickle cell and hear from medical professionals on how it can be managed and treated — and the urgent reforms needed in Nigeria’s health system.
