☀️Skin cancer in persons with albinism is preventable and early detection saves lives.
This International Albinism Awareness Day, we celebrate resilience, raise awareness, and promote skin health for persons with albinism.
At the Regional Dermatology Training Center , we are committed to improving the quality of life of people with albinism through:
🔎 Regular skin cancer screening
🩺 Early diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions
🧴 Provision of sunscreen
📚 Education on sun protection and skin health
We were honored to commemorate this special day alongside the Executive Director of KCMC, Prof. Gileard Masenga, whose presence underscored the importance of promoting health, inclusion, and equitable access to care for persons with albinism.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Tanzanian Albinism Society for providing essential supplies to patients in the Pediatric, Dermatology and Oncology wards, bringing comfort and support to those receiving care.
As part of this commitment, we are conducting a FREE skin screening outreach at Uhuru Park from Thursday through Saturday this week. We welcome all persons with albinism and their families to visit our team for screening, education, and support.
Together, let’s promote early detection, sun safety, and equitable access to dermatologic care✨. .fabre.group
