The Ghana Institute of Clinical Genetics held an open Durbar and a free community health screening, today, 25th June, 2026 at the institute premise, this morning. This event was organized to marks this year’s world sickle cell day celebration.

In her opening address the Director of the institute, Dr. Amma Benne Akwasi-Kuma highlighted how the disease is inherited and warned the public against the stigmatization of sickle cell patients. She added that "since it’s an inherited disease" it’s not their choice, hence, the public should deter from stigmatizing sickle cell patients. She also advised patients to take medical precautions early and serious to prevent worse complications.

Dr. Oteng Alpha, also took the opportunity to engage patients and the audience with a brief yet detailed education on the sickle cell diseases. He stressed on taking the advantage of modern medical treatments available and answered some questions from the patients.

This year marks the institute’s 53rd anniversary, with huge impact on the Ghanaian healthcare industry and beyond.
