We covered common domestic injuries, prevention at home, and why early care-seeking matters — plus the importance of Mutuelle de Santé in making that care accessible. 🚑 #MySHeC#GlobalSurgery#CommunityHealth#HealthAdvocacy
Many of the injuries discussed weren't the usual household stories — they were farming injuries. Cuts, falls, and accidents tied directly to the work people do every day. Prevention has to meet people where their risks actually are. 🌾#MySHeC#GlobalSurgery#CommunityHealth
"Irinde, urinde n'abawe ibikomere/impanuka zo mu ngo kandi mwivuze kwa muganga hakiri kare igihe zabaye." 🚑🇷🇼 Last week, MySHeC joined an Inteko y'Abaturage in Ryanturege Village, Burera District — reaching community members from Ryanturege and Murambi villages #MySHeC
Congratulations to Nate Ament on being selected in the 2026 NBA Draft! 🏀🇷🇼
This is a proud moment for Rwanda and an inspiration to young athletes across the country and beyond. Wishing you every success as you embark on this exciting new chapter. The future is bright! 🌟

To help knowledge travel beyond the room, the team distributed 50 brochures so participants can revisit what they learned and share it with their families. 📋

We also talked Mutuelle de Santé — because knowing what to do in an emergency means nothing if you can't access care afterward. Affordable healthcare access saves lives just as much as first aid does. 🚑
#MySHeC#GlobalSurgery#CommunityHealth#HealthAdvocacy
Topics covered: burns, fractures, and falls — their prevention, the warning signs that mean "go to the hospital now," and practical first aid while help is on the way. 🩹 #MySHeC#GlobalSurgery#CommunityHealth#HealthAdvocacy
Save this number: 📞 912 That's Rwanda's emergency ambulance hotline. Today's session made sure every participant knows exactly who to call and when, during accidents or medical emergencies. ⚡

"Irinde, urinde n'abawe ibikomere/impanuka zo mu rugo kandi mwivuze kwa muganga hakiri kare igihe zibaye." 🚑🇷🇼 Today, the $MySHeC Kicukiro Team held an outreach session at Gatenga Medicalized HC, engaging 60 community members on domestic injury prevention and emergency response.
Huge thanks to Cyanika HC and our MySHeC facilitators Angele Emma Akuzwe and France Milka Ineza for another session full of honest, practical conversation. 🇷🇼✨ #MySHeC#GlobalSurgery#CommunityHealth#HealthAdvocacy
One more win: every attendee confirmed they pay their Mutuelle de Santé on time, and said the health center is always their first stop when injury strikes. That's exactly the behavior MySHeC hopes to see everywhere. ✅🚑
The session also covered common domestic injuries (burns, falls, cuts, poisoning, electrical injuries), practical prevention at home, and when to seek care. Community members were engaged, asked sharp questions, and shared their own experiences. 💬
Quick question: if someone's tooth gets completely knocked out, what should you do? ❌ Don't throw it away ❌ Don't carry it loosely ✅ Place it under the tongue, or store it in milk/saline This keeps the root cells alive and gives dentists a real shot at replanting it. 🦷
"Irinde, urinde n'abawe ibikomere/impanuka zo mu ngo" 🚑🇷🇼 This week, MySHeC brought its outreach campaign to Cyanika Health Center in Burera District, engaging ~40 community members on domestic injury prevention and timely care-seeking. #MySHeC
