Abuja, Nigeria – As part of our mission to bridge the gap between clinical research and community understanding, PACTS Africa is proud to showcase a recent media engagement featuring our collaborative partner at the University of Abuja.

Amplifying Patient-Centered Voices

In a special segment of the media program "Untangle," Dr. Imam Abubakar, a Public Health Physician at the Centre of Excellence in Sickle Cell Disease Research and Training (CESRTA), University of Abuja, provided an in-depth exploration of the medical and social landscape of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
