On 22nd December 2008, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that recognises sickle cell disease as a public health problem and \u201cone of the world\u2019s foremost genetic diseases.\u201d The resolution calls for members to raise awareness of sickle cell on June 19th of each year at the national and international levels. Despite Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) being recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global health problem, there is not a coordinated approach to tackling the disease at a global level. As SCD continues to be an under-recognised public health issue, urgent action, attention, and awareness among the global community are required to tackle the disease."}
