One of the projects that being emphasized as Rwanda prepares for the 20th genocide commemoration is providing medical services to genocide survivors with ailments inflicted on them during the genocide.
According to FARG (the fund that supports the poor genocide survivors) in Rwanda, this project intends to treat the diseases that were caused by genocide so people can commemorate in good health.

Ruberangeyo says that FARG with the partnership of Rwanda Military Hospital intends to help genocide survivors get over their past by healing the wounds inflected on them during the genocide.
“We are working hard to attend to ailing genocide survivors in the remaining 16 districts as FARG with the support of RMH have already passed through 14 districts in the country.”
The most conditions being treated caused by the genocide include High Blood Pressure, Fistula in women who were raped and trauma among others.
This year 2014, about Rwf800 million is expected to be used in the treatment of the 1994 genocide survivors. This amount will take care of the genocide victims receiving treatment in or outside the country.
