We want to see the government of Rwanda through the ministry of health having commitments and guidelines on how the government take measures with partners to do regular skin cancer screening for persons with albinism every year in the whole country and how they will treat patients who have developed skin cancer or who have symptoms to prevent it at early stage.
The project seeks to increase the capacity of OIPPA to develop and implement the evidence-based advocacy strategy, mobilizing all stakeholders for effective inclusive education of learners with albinism in COVID-19 and strengthening the capacity of OIPPA to understand the challenges/barriers of people with albinism to access health services in COVID-19.
Funded by DRF, the project objectives were to advocate for the effective inclusion of children with albinism in education at the local level, the inclusion of learners with albinism based on the 2019 report and increasing OIPPA’s understanding of barriers for people with albinism to access health services to support evidence-based advocacy.
