The Chief Executive Officer of M7 Petroleum Services Nigeria Limited, Chief John Okorie, has joined the global community in commemorating World Sickle Cell Day, aimed at raising international awareness about Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
I wish to assure every child and adult living with Sickle Cell disease that healing is possible, and it is essential not to give up in the face of health challenges.
Advocacy efforts are necessary to ensure accurate laboratory results, thereby reducing anxiety and fear among individuals with sickle cell disease.
There have been numerous instances of individuals overcoming the disease through divine intervention.
It is crucial for prospective couples to undergo testing before marriage to prevent sickle cell issues. For those living with the condition, it is essential to recognize that it is not a death sentence.
I urge the government and private individuals to support sickle cell centers to alleviate the situation, he stated.
