Show Notes

After attending a scholarship programme in France, early in his career, Prof Saliou Diop realised that a lot had to be done to improve haemophilia care in his home country of Senegal.

Since then, he has been a key contributor to changing the landscape of haemophilia care in Africa over the past years, having co-authored more than 80 peer-reviewed articles, trained healthcare professionals from African countries and collaborated with numerous international experts, to share knowledge for the benefit of haemophilia and sickle cell patients. Hear from Prof Diop how haemophilia patients can benefit from an integrated management of blood disorders such as sick cell disease, in particular in regions where resources are limited.
