Integrated Sickle Cell Awareness Event

Integrated Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign - RAHAMA 

To commemorate #SickleCellAwarenessMonth, we held an integrated outreach for genotype, malaria testing, TB screening and placement of TPT for eligible populations. 

The Emir of Kano represented by the Emirate's Chairman Committee on Health Dr Bashir Ibrahim Muhammad (Dankaden Kano) engaged and sensitized the public on the importance of genotype and TB screening, urging them to utilize the opportunity. He urged other organizations like RAHAMA to consider the Emir's Palace for outreaches like this.

Over 200 people tested their genotype, 100 malaria tests, over 300 BP measurements and consultations, 152 TB screenings, 45 presumptive cases and 107 TPT uptake.
