As part of the national campaign leading up to World Diabetes Day, the Rwanda Diabetes Association together with the Ministry of Health, Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) and Team Type 1 gathered a team to raise awareness for World Heart Day on September 29th, 2015.

With a team composed of 15 people from RBC and the Rwanda Diabetes Association as well as 70 student volunteers from the University of Rwanda, we conducted free screenings for blood sugar, body mass index, blood pressure and looked at fitness and education. The screenings took place at Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, Rwanda. We screened 146 people throughout the day!
