Press Conference on Raising Awareness of Sickle-Cell Anaemia
Caption Description
Emilienne Raoul (centre), Health Minister of Congo, addresses a press conference on raising awareness of sickle-cell anaemia. Flagging sickle-cell anaemia as one of the world's most common but most misunderstood health problems, a panel featuring African health ministers and medical professionals urged Governments, health workers and even families to use 19 June as an opportunity to raise awareness of sickle-cell anaemia in order to ""bring this disease out of the shadows"" and help improve the quality of life for people living with it. From left: Ms. Edwige Badassou, Chair of the Sickle-Cell Disease International Organisation (SCDIO); Mr.Justin Obam, Counsellor of Public Health of Equatorial Guinea; Ms. Emilienne Raoul, Minister of Health of the Republic of the Congo; Ms. Therese Coumba, Minister of Health of the Republic of Senegal; brief on the occasion of the first World Sickle Cell Anaemia Awareness Day.
