A resolution expressing support for the designation of June 19, 2025, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" in order to increase public awareness across the United States and global community about sickle cell disease and the continued need for empirical research, early detection screenings, novel effective treatments leading to a cure, and preventative care programs with respect to complications from sickle cell anemia and conditions relating to sickle cell disease.
SRES 292 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating June 19, 2025, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about sickle cell disease (SCD) globally and in the U.S. It specifically aims to highlight the need for increased empirical research, early detection screenings, novel treatments, and preventative care programs for SCD and related complications.
