Dr Jude Dumfeh, an award winning internal medicine and pediatric physician and his wife, Evelyn Dumfeh share with us the challenges they faced when their daughter was diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Their family experience is a testimony of love that triumphs all things; sacrifice in the midst of pain; and hope and faith in God's goodness and healing that is brought about through prayers and the intervention of modern medicine. They have a word of advice to all families facing the challenges of supporting a family member who is suffering from sickle cell disease. They help us understand the complexities and complications of this disease, especially in many African countries with limited access to medical intervention like bone marrow transplant and other therapies.
