Albinism is a medical condition in
which a person lacks or has limited pigmentation (melanin) of the skin, hair and/or eyes. There are many different types of albinism and the severity of the disease varies according to the type of genetic defect that has been inherited. However, the most common type is a complete absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes.

Affected individuals have:
โ€ขWhite or light yellow hair and white to pink skin which is extremely sensitive to sunlight.
โ€ขLight colored blue, grey or brown eyes, resulting in poor vision. The eyes may show continuous rapid movements from side to side and squinting due to sensitivity to
light.
โ€ขOver time sun exposure can induce skin discoloration including scaly pink or dark brown spots on the skin.

The Ministry through Botswana Public Health Institute (BPHI) is this week hosting a three-day workshop on One Health, a platform which seeks to among others, provide a collaboration forum and bridge a sector-specific capacity assessment tool.

When officiating at the ceremony, the Acting Secretary for Primary Health Care in the Ministry of Health Dr Bobby Kgosiemang affirmed Governmentโ€™s commitment to operationalize One Health approach. He highlighted that Botswana is signatory to the 2008 Libreville Declaration on Health and Environment- an African policy framework that addresses the critical links between human health and the environment. And to that effect, in September 2025, Botswanaโ€™s leadership reaffirmed its commitment to the One Health agenda at the highest level, prioritising the fight against antimicrobial resistance, strengthening biosafety and enhancing zoonotic disease surveillance under the stewardship of the four One Health ministries: being the Ministries of Health; Lands and Agriculture; Ministry of Local Government and Traditional Affairs - Botswana; and Environment and Tourism.

The workshop brings together participants from government sector and quadripartite partnership comprising World Health Organization Botswana (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
