This day is marked every year with the objective of increasing public awareness and understanding of sickle cell disease, as well as tackling the obstacles that patients, their families, and carers face. This year's awareness campaign is called "Shine the Light," and it represents worldwide meetings to light buildings in red in the hopes of finding a universal cure for the disease. 

Furthermore, awareness campaigns must be performed and intensified across the country, particularly in high-risk states, to raise public understanding about the disease, the necessity of early diagnosis, and treatment choices.

In  fact  in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3.  There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
