  • Submit and discuss challenging patient cases
  • Share insights about diagnosis guidelines, treatment options, and patient management strategies
  • Upload and download slide presentations or study data
  • Post information about clinical trials, research opportunities, and relevant medical meetings
  • Initiate discussions or request feedback on any other related issues

The content for this site is physician driven and maintained. You can read the posts and access the educational materials that appear on Global Sickle Cell Forum, but if you wish to post responses or contribute content you must first register and create a free user profile.

Sickle cell disease can be very discouraging and distressing for both patient and clinician. By sharing our unique insights, expertise, and professional experiences on Global Sickle Cell Forum, we can all increase our understanding of this complex disease and immediately incorporate this knowledge into improved management strategies for our pediatric patients. We also encourage you to tell your colleagues about this important resource.

This site was made available through an educational grant provided by Novartis. Thank you very much for your participation.
