8:43 pm
threatens many lives in africa, people with sickle cell disorder producer, red blood cells that are unusually shaped like crescents or sickles as the name suggests. these can block blood vessels and cause chronic pain on often death. the condition is particularly common among people with african or caribbean background . now $300000.00 children are born with sickle cell disease each year with her arm 3 quarters of those in africa. nigeria is the worst affected country, but there are attempts to sound the alarm as dw correspondence. only such woocommerce reports. throw in blood, prevent in men suffering nigeria, psycho so foundation in non profit organization is trying to test as many blood samples as possible. so people can no dare sickle cell status more duke way or color, or look by the group or left please. and the forefront of these efforts. she is live with sickle cell disorder for more than 60 years. it was very uh,
8:44 pm
i was always in and out of the hospital long then oh, i know the infection i have to be transferred to you. my bremar's will did that one with when not very, it was in a good it when she calls herself the sickle cell warrior breathing every day with strong support from her family and with medical care. what for disease which no easy cure. she wants to raise awareness to prevent the need, but the lifelong challenges it brings it vivian did very well. people, you know, because in that, by the all the are we, i live a lot of people still don't know. so this community very martin course on this fundraiser and i've been doing a lot about about 40000000 nigerians. a healthy carriers will be sickle cell g,
8:45 pm
but some are not even aware of it. it is saw that can only occur when 2 of such people have children. one informed their offspring will have sickle cell anemia which causes chronic pain and often death. many don't make it beyond the active vest day. this particular event today now gives us of change to them. so they know again before this, that data isn't married. what their dinner type is because that's what determines if you're going to be in a yes, this is exactly what more or more companies are starting to do. it's often even a decisive factor or get it together. as we hear at a wedding registrar next door annoying most to some of my little i it's on my own. now if i get married and i'll know what i'm doing. so i'm how to avoid the
8:46 pm
latin american good to play a little in the in addition to that, not with that so free is worse. and i the huge financial costs and the challenges accessing policy, health care, managerial prose. that's why the campaigners advocate know your status, the cheaper and safe a message of prevention. we can also be to deli, at yogi, at people she is the chief operating officer of $54.00 gene, which is a pharmaceutical research company pioneering the specialization in african genetic material. delilah, it's good to have you on the program. now. less than 3 percent of genomic data are represented in research as from african population. so how much has this tiny amount hampered the search for a cure for sickle cell disorder? well, thank you. it's greatly hampered on the search for
8:47 pm
a cure and when we think about it, what's really contribution to that is the fact that we don't have much representation. when it comes to driving the science. we need more african scientists to help bridge the disparity gap when you think about driving genomics, read data research, so that we have greater participation from african science. those who look like those who are affected by the disease contributing. in addition, we need to be able to have greater investment when we talk about diagnostics and data for being able to identify the causes as well as those who need the treatment related to sickle cell disease is that lack of diagnostic build is on the continent that also causes delayed in disease identification as well as crucial management of sickle cell. and the 3rd area that is really important is participation. we have more patients participating who are of african descent. that allows 54 companies like 2014, as well as a pharmaceutical industry to understanding yet better insights into the disease and
8:48 pm
therefore power in a bit of drug discovery. now there are other diseases whose cures are yet to be found to so where does sickle cell rank in terms of priority in the world, major research labs in your body varying a point in terms of the world's research labs. i mean, most of the time we focus on infectious diseases like over 90 because obviously there's been a huge impact globally pointing about disease burden in african, where typically research has been directed to things like h, i v t, v. malaria usually come up. but there has to be much greater focus when it relates to non communicable diseases, which is where sickle cell falls. because actually globally, that is the biggest representation of disease burden and it's not infectious disease every single day. people are dealing with chronic conditions that are, that are affecting both their daily lives as well as what, how the rates are possible. why? and so we globally think about sickle cell disease for which about 300000 or more
8:49 pm
list of every year. nigeria alone in particular, contributes to about 50 percent of that about 150000 newborns are born the sickle cell disease annually, which represents 50 percent. so how do we start addressing? and he just put attention towards that particular disease burden is the fact that we have such a great cause and a need to focus and not just look at infectious disease by coping 19 alone at this rate. so how close do you think we are to finding a cure, a ready cure for sickle cell disorder? so i think that when you think about new technologies, for instance, like gene therapy, which is really a cure in itself. when you think about how to come about treating sickle cell disease, this whole, but we need to actually really do more and be able to come up with innovative ways and mechanisms for which we can address sickle cell in a manner that supports the infrastructure that we have with in africa building up capabilities, continue to build up sustainable ways for which the healthcare ecosystem can
8:50 pm
support new technologies coming in. that will really be able to, in brocker size availability, as well as accessibility for these innovative therapies. and that was going to be important for driving and being able to address and provide sure it's for sickle cell delani at hippo from 54 gene. thanks for speaking to us. thank you. now to chad, where a professional dancer is hoping his craft can achieve a greater purpose is using his dancing skills, among other activities to help kids get off the streets in a country where many parents are financially struggling to take her of the children . this dancer hopes to help ease the burden. oh, in jamaica. yes. have a professional dancer, oliver and dab ago jude is helping these children find their way through dance.
8:51 pm
some of them are orphans, others have been abandoned and left to fend for themselves. ah, when we dance, we forgot all old worries. we only think of moving together only for the gift than to dance, to gain the trust so that the children can confide in us. for example, why are they on the streets? i go quite believe there are more than 3000 children living rough here in chads capital city. the reason for them being here often because their parents can't afford to keep them loyal a lot on latha handle at home, my parents have nothing on the fight. every day, they don't give me anything. they can't enroll me in school on my phone. that's why i'm on the streets yet and jemina blue. and that's why oliver does what he does. but dancing to hip hop with is only part of it. were 3
8:52 pm
acres at the center. he found it. children are also taught to read and write many for the 1st time the center which is part funded by unesco or say, provides vocational training. it's led to success stories like at dow, after islamist group bach, her, her arm murdered his parents. he spent 3 years on the streets. now he works as a dressmaker. every year my, my senior, i have more machine. i have a room, it's incredible. dance has given me self confidence. that's not what it's taught me of. lisa. the hope is that among these children there will be more apt, out of either taken back in by their parents or becoming financially independent, remaining on a rhythmic note. music from cape bird has enchanted fans around the world since the discovery of the iconic singer says area devora. but the richness of these tunes
8:53 pm
