International Sickle Cooperation (ISC)

Health Diplomacy that Restores Lives

Restoring lives affected by sickle cell disease through health diplomacy, compassionate partnerships, and faith-informed action.

International Sickle Cooperation (ISC) is a non-profit association whose purpose is to help maximize the physiological, psychological, and social well-being of people living with sickle cell disease in Angola, with a special focus on patients themselves.

We were created in response to the daily challenges faced by patients, families, caregivers, and health professionals, and we promote health diplomacy as a bridge for innovation, collaboration, and fair access to care. From New York, we connect Angolan communities with global partners to turn solidarity into concrete programs that restore health, dignity, and hope.
