Nigerian doctor fighting killer blood disease-Joseph Katinas

Many African children suffer from sickel-cell anemia every year. About 3/4s of those children are born in Nigera. Sickle-cell anemia is the most common heredity blood disorder. Dr. Bosede Afalabi is a specialist practitioner. She has dedicated much of her working life to study the disease and how it affects pregnant women and their babies. Afalabi's mission is to use her knowledge to cut maternal morality in Nigeria. Around 25% of the population in Nigeria carry this blood disease gene. Also around 40 million peopleand virtually everyone has lost a family member or close friend to the disease. I find this article hopeful. I can't believe this woman would sacrifice her time and effort to this desease. Maybe someday we will find a cure. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/11/world/africa/bosede-afolabi-sickle-cell-anemia/index.html
