Every Voice Counts Initiative (EVCI) has provided 100 underprivileged women from the Kimisagara sector of the Nyarugenge District with a check for Rwf 300,000 as a health insurance contribution. One of the EVCI’s interventions, among others, is to encourage community-level health insurance, especially for those who are vulnerable.
The ceremony was an idea of EVCI to collaborate with Kimisagara sector to enforce the wellbeing of the inhabitants, and it took place during a general assembly of women under the National Women Council (NWC) at the sector level.
A non governmental organization called Every Voice Counts Initiative (EVCI) educates people about their rights and equips them, particularly women and girls, to spearhead advocacy for the advancement and defense of those rights in society.
Me. Steven Gatari, a member of the EVCI Board, claims that the program intends to assist those in need in getting access to healthcare services whenever they need it without facing financial difficulty.
“No one should suffer a disease and pass away merely because they are underprivileged or are unable to receive medical care. Everyone should have the right to govern their own health and physical well-being, including access to sexual and reproductive information and services that are free from violence and discrimination.
Making ensuring no one is left behind is the main goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As a result, I demand that all nations, CSOs, and advocates for human rights respect and uphold these rights in their legal frameworks, health programs, and health policies. Gatari said, “I.”
In order for everyone to benefit from good health, he continued, “we must all work together to combat inequalities and discriminatory practices, regardless of age, sex, race, religion, health status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or migration status.”
Athanasie Mushimiyimana, the President of the National Women Council in the Kimisagara sector, expressed appreciation for the effective partnership with the EVCI Organization and stated that the contribution will help the sector’s citizens, particularly the most vulnerable women, to receive better healthcare.
“It is a good initiative, but the government cannot accomplish everything without the help of partners. These women will be able to exercise their right to health care without facing discrimination. We call upon other partners for working together, supporting one another, and establishing lasting relationships. remarked Mushimiyimana.
