Fighting sickle cell disease
RED FOCUSES ON THREE COMPLEMENTARY MISSIONS: CARE, RESEARCH AND TRAINING
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder that affects red blood cells and can cause severe pain, as well as acute and chronic complications. It affects millions of people worldwide and has a major impact on patients and their families.
Support RED
Transforming the lives of people affected by the world’s most common inherited blood disorder is within our reach.
Care
Improving care for people with sickle cell disease or another red blood cell disorder is a priority for RED.
Our actions aim to improve care pathways, strengthen coordination between healthcare professionals, and support patients and their families.
Through this approach, we help prevent complications and improve patients’ quality of life.
Research
RED promotes research projects to drive innovation and:
- Improve screening
- Prevent complications;
- optimise care pathways and healthcare networks;
- help improve knowledge of red blood cell disorders
Training
RED develops practical training initiatives, supported by digital tools, for healthcare professionals, medical and social care workers, associations and partners. These initiatives strengthen skills, promote best practice and improve the quality of care.
Working together
RED works with patients, families, healthcare professionals, researchers, associations, institutions and industry. Each partner contributes to improving care over the long term.
Support us to give them a better future
Every donation funds direct action on the ground: equipping a screening centre, training a doctor or developing information tools for patients. Sickle cell disease affects millions of people but remains severely underfunded. Your support changes lives.
Our projects
We run practical programmes to support earlier diagnosis, better care and wider access to information. Our projects cover research, prevention, therapeutic patient education and access to healthcare in the regions most affected by sickle cell disease.
Our partners
RED is supported by a strong network of institutional, scientific and community partners. Within the RÊVE consortium and beyond, we combine our strengths to accelerate research and improve care wherever sickle cell disease occurs.
