Launched during Sickle Cell Disease Awareness month, this free webinar hosted by Novartis is a Sickle Cell Disease awareness program with a focus on the pediatric patient population. The program is presented by two speakers and will include a patient and caregiver perspective on the disease burden and impact of SCD on their quality of life. Agenda topics include an overview of SCD, acute and chronic complications of SCD, cumulative impact of VO, VOCs and end-organ damage, disease burden for patients with sickle cell disease, importance of transition from pediatric to adult care, and patient/caregiver perspectives with panel questions for the patient and caregiver.
