SSHAI | Vision & Mission Statements

A future where individuals living with sickle cell disease and other vulnerable populations have equitable access to affordable, high-quality essential healthcare without financial hardship, supported by strengthening responsive, data-driven health systems.

To advance universal health coverage (UHC) through:

● Sickle cell disease patients' support, advocacy and linkage to care for all domains of health.

● Expanding access to essential healthcare services via accountable partnerships and collaborations to ensure sustainable resource acquisition.

● Research on disease burden, healthcare access, utilisation, and financial burden to monitor financial risk protection in vulnerable populations.

● Community-based health interventions for underserved populations using credible data to guide the urgency of interventions and health service prioritisation.

● Advocating for policies that reduce out-of-pocket health expenditure.

These efforts lead to scalable, community-directed interventions that improve health outcomes in line with advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 3, and 17.
