Genocide survivors with different ailments in Bugesera district on Monday started receiving free treatment offered by Rwanda Military Hospital medical personnel at Nyamata Hospital and Ngeruka Health Centre.
Françoise Uwera Kabanda, the in-charge of health at the Fund for the Support of Genocide Survivors (FARG), said the one-week treatment exercise targets some 826 patients who were recently registered.
“The treatment they used to receive was not effective to heal them considering the gravity of their ailments. There was a need for more experienced and expert medical personnel to help them,” Kabanda said, adding that others who failed to register would be considered later.
“There is no progress if people are not healthy. These drugs will improve their health, and enable them to work for the good of their families as well as the country,” Kabanda said.
She said the programme is beneficial to patients as the treatment is timely, cheaper, swift and promising.
