Sickle Cell Disease: In Cotonou, Claudine Talon Foundation Builds Center to Be Transferred to the State – La Nouvelle Tribune

A sickle cell disease treatment center is under construction in Cotonou, led by the Claudine Talon Foundation, which will transfer it to the Beninese government upon completion. The foundation, led by the former First Lady of Benin, has been involved in social and health projects since 2016, including a pediatric cancer center in Porto-Novo in 2022. This new specialized center for sickle cell disease, affecting over 4% of the population, represents a significant step in combating this genetic illness.
