Welcome to the Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organizations
With the belief that the quality of care and treatment for sickle cell disease should not be determined by where you live; the Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organizations (GASCDO) will work with National Member Organizations (NMOs), Regional Member Organizations (RMOs) and collaborators to ensure GASCDO is abreast of challenges faced in their communities in order to provide them with effective support.
GASCDO Represents:
- Patients with SCD
- Parents, carriers, and families of patients with SCD
- National and regional SCD Organizations
Health care professionals
- Educators and advocates
- Community representatives
- Others not limited to individuals, organizations, institutions (including centers of excellence, research and care provider organizations); and the industry.
