A resolution expressing support for the designation of June 19, 2024, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" in order to increase public awareness across the United States and global community about sickle cell disease and the continued need for empirical research, early detection screenings, novel effective treatments leading to a cure, and preventative care programs with respect to complications from sickle cell anemia and conditions relating to sickle cell disease.

SRES 738 is a Senate resolution designating June 19, 2024, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" to increase public awareness about sickle cell disease (SCD) in the U.S. and globally. It emphasizes the need for research, early detection screenings, treatments, and preventative care for SCD complications, particularly affecting communities disproportionately impacted by the disease (e.g., African-American and Hispanic populations in the U.S., and regions like sub-Saharan Africa). The resolution urges equitable access to SCD therapies and encourages global health initiatives, including newborn screening programs and support for innovative treatments. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws but promotes awareness and action on SCD.
