The Global Action Network for Sickle Cell & Other Inherited Blood Disorders utilizes a regional network model to advance its global activities. It will first commence work in regional areas of the highest unmet needs (Middle East, Africa, and South America/Caribbean).
Through these networks, GANSID will provide platforms for sharing, networking, and collaboration that will enable the advancement of public policy priorities through coordinated advocacy. It will also empower the patient organizations through training, capacity building, and mentorship
