I’m here to meet and do more in creating awareness

Awesome.
I’m excited to be here.

Nd Esther is my name; I am a practicing physician in Lagos, Nigeria.

I have become particularly interested in medical awareness, and SCD had become my first area of focus. This is because of the information gap I noticed around this all important and preventable condition.

I hope to create more awareness in this regard in attempt to reducing to barest minimum the incidence of SCD.

Nigeria is currently leading as a country with the highest number of people living or born with SCD; I wish this would stop.

This is my course and I’m looking for those who would love to be part of this .

Do you know anyone please ?

  1. Pleasure meeting you. I'm from Lagos but based in Seattle and was born with HbSS. Thank you for supporting and raising awareness for sickle cell disease in my home country. Would love to speak with you about collaborating with my advocacy group - Sickle Cell Prodigy. Feel free to contact us sicklecellprodigy@gmail.com. Maybe we can help with your research initiatives.

    1. Hey



      Yes, there’s need to do more. There should be legislations and policies around these things.


      I want more stories, we need different perspectives and engagement with the society in a way that informs deeply and inspires the right actions.


      Will shoot you an email ASAP
