About Us
The Bahamas Sickle Cell Association is dedicated to advocating and encouraging continued research for a cure for Sickle Cell Disease while working to enhance the quality of healthcare, life and services for individuals and families affected by this disease.
Our Mission
The Bahamas Sickle Cell Awareness Association was founded by a group of passionate individuals, including patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and community advocates, who recognized the need for a united effort to address the impact of sickle cell disease. Our diverse team brings together a wealth of knowledge, personal experiences, and a shared determination to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected.

At the heart of our organization lies a simple yet profound mission: to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease through education, advocacy, and community engagement. We strive to create a better understanding of the challenges faced by those living with sickle cell disease and work towards fostering a compassionate and inclusive society.
