RWANDAN PEACEKEEPERS PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES TO LOCAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTH SUDAN
Durupi, 26 June 2025
Rwandan contingents serving under the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (Rwanbatt3, Rwanbatt1, Rwanda Aviation Unit, and Rwanda Formed Police Unit), in partnership with the Society for Family Health (SFH-Rwanda), offered medical services to over 500 residents of Amadi village, located on the outskirts of the capital city, Juba. The initiative aimed to improve the residents’ health by bringing much-needed healthcare services to the community.
The outreach included screening and treatment for a variety of illnesses. Community members were tested and treated for malaria. In addition to general healthcare, the team conducted hepatitis screening and treated eye conditions, offering support to individuals suffering from vision-related issues.
Speaking at the event, Col Leodomir Uwizeyimana, Rwanbatt3 Contingent Commander who represented the Rwandan contingents in UNMISS, commended the collaborative spirit between the peacekeepers and the local community, stating: “This outreach reflects our commitment not only to peace and security, but also to the well-being of the people we serve. Health is the foundation of lasting peace.”
Laat Gatluak, Chief of Amadi Village, applauded the positive relationship between the Rwandan peacekeepers and the local community, particularly highlighting their support for various community service initiatives.
