Blood donation and stem cell registration are much needed but sadly unthought of concerns in many multicultural communities.
On November 24th 2022, the Canadian Blood Services, the Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada and the Sickle Cell Foundation of Alberta (SCFA) organized an event to discuss how diverse communities can improve blood donation and stem cell registration.
The SCFA’s president, one of the speakers at the event, shared their research and an App to enhance a culture of blood donation as well as stem cell registration in our communities. The App will be launched in February 2023 during Black History Month to encourage community members to participate in blood donation and stem cell registration.
