Nigeria's Albinos Face Devastating Rise in Skin Cancer Battles Amid Association Intervention

At least 40 Nigerian albinos are battling skin cancer, prompting the Albinism Association of Nigeria to call for urgent intervention. The growing prevalence has raised concerns among community leaders and health experts.

The Albinism Association of Nigeria has sounded the alarm over a growing health crisis affecting its members, with at least 40 individuals diagnosed with skin cancer. The association is calling for urgent intervention to address the rising prevalence of this debilitating condition within the albinism community. Skin cancer is particularly dangerous for people with albinism due to their lack of melanin, which makes them more susceptible to harmful UV radiation. As the association seeks assistance from relevant authorities, it highlights the need for increased awareness and support to protect the health and well-being of its members.
