In this episode of I Said What I Said (ISWIS), hosts FK and Jollz are joined by Dr. Annette Akinsete and Precious Gaza to discuss the reality of living Sickle Cell Disease.

Though it is regarded as the most common blood disorder, the disease remains a low priority for many health ministries. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is common throughout much of Sub-saharan Africa, affecting up to 3% of births in some parts of the continent.

As we approach World Sickle Cell Day this year on June 19th, this episode seeks to spread awareness of the disease.
