Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Sickle cell disease is genetic and affects 1 in 2,500 newborns in Canada;
  • This rare disease is little known by the general public and health care professionals;
  • This rare disease deserves to be considered by researchers and our public health institutions; and
  • People suffering from this rare disease must be better informed through a national sickle cell disease registry to obtain the necessary treatments.
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to develop a national framework on sickle cell disease as soon as possible, as proposed by Bill S-280, An Act respecting a national framework on sickle cell disease, sponsored by Senator Marie-Françoise Mégie.
