Made in Nigeria: The story of bond, oxyurea and SCD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes a story has been sitting in front of you for years before you realise that it deserves to be told. For me, oxyurea is one of those stories. As someone who has lived with Sickle Cell Disease and written about the condition for many years, I know many people within the sickle cell community who use oxyurea, a brand of hydroxyurea manufactured in Nigeria. Hydroxyurea itself is well known in sickle cell care, but I became interested in the story behind this particular medicine. Who makes i
SCD and caregiving culture in Africa (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When family becomes the healthcare system Across many African communities, when someone becomes seriously or chronically ill, the first caregiver is rarely a professional. It may be a mother who stays awake through the night, a father searching for money for treatment, a sister accompanying her sibling to hospital, or a spouse who quietly reorganises an entire life around another person’s health.

Read excerpt
“Stay positive.” It is a phrase many people living with Sickle Cell Disease will have heard at some point. It may come from a relative, friend, colleague or someone in our faith community. Usually, it is said with good intentions. The person wants to encourage us. They want us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. There is nothing wrong with hope. I believe hope is essential when living with a lifelong condition such as SCD. But there is a difference between genuine hope and what h
Antioxidants and SCD: Supporting blood vessels, collagen and inflammation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we talk about nutrition and Sickle Cell Disease, antioxidants often come up. Vitamin C, vitamin E, colourful fruits and vegetables, berries, leafy greens and other antioxidant-rich foods are frequently described as being “good for us.” But what does that actually mean for someone living with SCD? The answer starts with something called oxidative stress. Our bodies naturally produce substances called free radicals as part of normal metabolism. Usually, the body has antioxidant defence system
