What if knowing your sickle cell status could change your future – and that of your future children?
Screening Day Program
Information stand
- Awareness about sickle cell disease and the importance of preconception screening
- Presentation of the care pathway for sickle cell patients followed at the H.U.B (remove “nation” and HUB mention)
- Specific support for sickle cell patients planning to become parents
- Awareness on blood donation by the Red Cross
Walk-in consultations
- On-the-spot screening test
The test is a quick finger-prick blood test. Participants will receive their result, a flyer explaining how to interpret it, and the option to have a consultation the same day (or later by appointment) to discuss it. - Individual and confidential consultations with a specialist hematologist and a genetics expert for any questions or advice
Why get screened?
Sickle cell disease is a serious hereditary condition. Preconception screening enables informed choices and helps anticipate risks for future generations. Come by, get informed, and ask all your questions in a supportive and welcoming environment.
