So many startups are going to lose opportunity for funding/ grants, coz who would want to invest in a business located in a country with this much political instability & insecurity. Heck no room for innovation or growth!

Ok people when someone tells you they have #SickleCell disease they are not looking for data on how many people have lost their lives due to #SickleCell This "I had a friend that died coz of #SickleCell " needs to stop! It's not encouraging, we do not like to hear it!

We should all fear for the next generation of doctors! This constant need to shame their patients on social media as opposed to treating them, is only going to hurt the patients in the long run... What happened to patient - doctor confidentiality , more so empathy!

When dealing with SCD the patient’s voice is the most important one, no one understands what the patient is feeling but the patient! It’s important for medical practitioners to listen to understand not to listen to respond!
