As part of Albinism Month, Gauteng MEC for Health and Wellness, MEC led a commemorative event at Sibonile School for the Visually Impaired in partnership with the Albinism Society of South Africa to raise awareness, educate communities, and promote inclusivity for individuals living with albinism.

In addition to this, the MEC highlighted that the Gauteng Department of Health continues to support people with albinism. This include prescription glasses, spectacles, SPF 40 and 50 sunscreen, and rehabilitation services. These interventions are crucial in addressing vision challenges and protecting sensitive skin from sun damage, which can lead to serious health risks such as skin cancer.

As part of the Integrated School Health Programme, the learners also received comprehensive health services including HPV and Tdap vaccinations, TB screenings, nutritional and mental health assessments, and visual screenings.
