Namibia counts 38,000 people with albinism during its 2024 population survey. Dr Salem Nambahu shared these numbers at Albinism Awareness Day events. The health ministry picked Kavango West Region because many skin cancer cases come from this area. Medical teams checked 101 people with albinism across four days during June. Officials want to catch skin problems early before they become dangerous.

The awareness campaign focuses on protecting skin and saving lives. Doctors teach families about sun safety and cancer prevention methods. People with albinism face higher risks of developing serious skin diseases. The medical outreach program helps communities learn about proper care techniques. Teams screen more than 25 people each day during their regional visits.

Governor Verna Sinimbo praised people with albinism for their courage and contributions. She reminds citizens that everyone deserves equal treatment regardless of appearance. The government promises to defend rights for all Namibians without discrimination. Leaders want communities to support people with albinism through education and acceptance. Officials stress that physical differences should never limit opportunities or dreams.
