Today, @rulprwanda joins world in celebrating International Day of Persons with Dwarfism 2026 under the theme “Supporting All of Us for Each of Us” and the core value “Don’t Deny. Embrace.” together, let’s challenge stigma, end discrimination, promote dignity and inclusion.
Through the project “Strengthening Community Awareness of Eye Care and Inclusive Eye Health Services through OPD-Based Monitoring of Inclusion,” UPHLS, in partnership with @kabgeye with support from @StichtingSeeYou , brought together healthcare providers, Disability Mainstreaming Officers from all districts of the Western Province and four districts of the Southern Province (Nyanza, Ruhango, Muhanga and Kamonyi), MoH representative, and OPDs to discuss assessment findings on accessibility and inclusion in eye health services for persons with disabilities and identify ways to strengthen inclusive eye care.

It was a great pleasure for our team to visit @UPHLS to discuss our existing partnership and explore opportunities for further collaboration. 🤝The meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen our shared commitment to advancing inclusive and equitable WASH, ensuring that people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are meaningfully included in efforts towards universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration towards WASH services that leave no one behind.

Through "Scaling Up Ear and Hearing Care Services" - "Winsiga Ndumva", Rwanda is identifying children, screening, and fitting them with hearing aids before hearing loss costs them their education. Take a look at the results so far.

Building a more inclusive healthcare system starts with collaboration. @UPHLS successfully convened advocacy meetings in @RuhangoDistrict @Gicumbi_Rwanda , bringing together health facility managers, district leaders, and Organizations of Persons with Disabilities to champion accessible healthcare for all.
Together, we're promoting practical solutions from ramps and accessible toilets to disability inclusion training for healthcare workers so that no one is left behind.
Thank you to @RwandaHealth, @RuhangoDistrict, @GicumbiDistrict, and @commonwealthfnd for supporting the journey toward equitable and inclusive healthcare.
