In addition to the physical rehabilitation of the center, the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation is also involved in raising awareness about sickle cell disease, in particular by encouraging early detection by electrophoresis. By supporting patient care structures, the first lady is helping to improve access to care for patients suffering from this disease.

The renovation of the Mabanga Center in Kinshasa is an important step in the care of sickle cell patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to the initiative of the first lady Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi and the involvement of the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, better health conditions will be offered to patients, with modern facilities and comprehensive services. This commitment to the health of sickle cell patients illustrates the importance of raising awareness and supporting people with chronic illnesses, and demonstrates the positive action of the first lady to improve the quality of life of the Congolese population.
