Rwandan peacekeepers of Rwanbatt-1, Rwanda Formed Police Unit (RWA-FPU III) under the United Nations Mission in South Sudan in collaboration with Society for Family Health, today provided free healthcare services to more than 200 residents of Gudele in Juba, South Sudan. The activity is scheduled today and tomorrow, with medical services, including general consultation, dental care, obstetric ultrasound, and ophthalmology.
Maj. Gerard Bahati Murasandonyi, Chief Medical Officer at Rwanbatt-1, confirmed that the support they provide to local residents aligns with their paramount mandate of protecting civilians as peacekeepers through community support activities. He also stated that the activity will help the local community through medical consultations, treatment, and provision of medicines for illnesses such as malaria and other health problems.
Mr. Ismail Abdu Nimaya, the coordinator of medical services in South Sudan government institutions, praised the Rwandan contingents for providing free health services support.
" We need our brothers and sisters from Rwanda and the United Nations to join hands with us so that together, they can continue to render these important health services to our people. We are truly happy and appreciate the support and unwavering commitment from the Rwandan Contingents", Mr. Ismail said.
