The Adekunle Gold Foundation has extended its impact in the fight against Sickle Cell Disease, providing vital healthcare support to over 400 individuals in Lagos.
The outreach, held in partnership with medical professionals and volunteers, offered free health screenings, medications, counseling sessions, and educational resources aimed at improving the quality of life for people living with the condition. Beneficiaries also received guidance on managing symptoms, preventing crises, and accessing long-term care.
Speaking on the initiative, Adekunle Gold—who has been open about his personal experience with sickle cell—emphasized the importance of awareness, early diagnosis, and consistent treatment. He noted that many individuals living with the condition still face stigma, limited access to healthcare, and financial challenges.
The program also created a platform for community engagement, allowing participants to share their experiences and connect with support networks. Health experts at the event highlighted the need for regular check-ups, proper medication, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce complications associated with the disease.
This latest effort by the foundation reinforces its commitment to advocating for people living with sickle cell, while pushing for improved healthcare access and public understanding across Nigeria.
The initiative has been widely praised as a significant step toward reducing the burden of sickle cell disease and supporting affected individuals in leading healthier, more stable lives.
