Global Sickle Cell Alliance (GLoSCA) is a global non-profit organization
providing a forum for all persons, agencies, organizations, health groups,
and businesses to unite with the common cause to stop Sickle Cell
injustice and join the efforts to find a cure. |

The mission of Global Sickle Cell Alliance is to improve the quality of life
for all affected by, or at risk for, sickle cell disease, trait and related
disorders.
We address many of the challenges that have a significant effect on
health status and well being of the global sickle cell community, including
education, lack of health insurance, poverty, mistrust of health care
professionals, attitudes of care providers, access to services,
environmental factors and individual nutritional behaviors (diet) and
physical activity.
In addition, GLoSCA will champion best local, national and global
practices in eliminating health disparities as touching upon sickle cell
within the local cultural and spiritual context. GLoSCA fosters
communication and true collaboration among all stakeholders at the local, national and international level to improve quality of life of individuals with
sickle cell disease. |
