The CrimsonBow Sickle Cell Initiative and Sickle Cell Advocacy and Management Initiative made the call during a sickle cell awareness walk and free clinic held on Saturday.
The walk and clinic benefitted no fewer than 1,000 patients and marked the 70th birthday of the initiatives’ patron and sponsor, Mr Wole Adeleye.
It also commemorated the 2025 World Sickle Cell Day, which is observed annually on June 19.
