There are studies that confirm that only\u00a0<strong>one in ten live past the age of 30<\/strong>, mainly due to skin cancer. Certain discriminatory attitudes on behalf of some health workers contribute to this high incidence of skin cancer among people with albinism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gt-block\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The majority of health institutions <strong>do not educate<\/strong> on skincare when exposed to the sun, nor do they offer advice to families that have given birth to a child with albinism. Albinism is not included in health education programs, which causes a <strong>total absence of information<\/strong> about the disease among the population.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=&#8221;20&#8243; screen_normal_resolution=&#8221;1024&#8243; screen_tablet_resolution=&#8221;800&#8243; screen_mobile_resolution=&#8221;480&#8243;][dfd_button button_text=&#8221;READ MORE&#8221; select_icon=&#8221;dfd_icons&#8221; border=&#8221;border_style:none&#8221; hover_border=&#8221;border_style:none&#8221; main_style=&#8221;style-5&#8243; buttom_link_src=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fbeyondsuncare.org%2Fen%2Fskin-cancer%2F|title:Read%20more||&#8221; undefined=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; background=&#8221;#f0d65a&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221; hover_box_shadow=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221; ic_dfd_icons=&#8221;dfd-socicon-arrow-right&#8221; hover_background=&#8221;#f0d65a&#8221; title_font_options=&#8221;font_size:18&#8243;][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=&#8221;40&#8243; screen_normal_resolution=&#8221;1024&#8243; screen_tablet_resolution=&#8221;800&#8243; screen_mobile_resolution=&#8221;480&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row dfd_row_config=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; force_equal_height_columns=&#8221;main_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1558079060612{margin-right: 0px !important;background-color: #f3f3f3 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1558078719884{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221; col_shadow=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221; col_shadow_hover=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221;][dfd_single_image image=&#8221;2358&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; dfd_column_responsive_enable=&#8221;dfd-column-responsive-enable&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1558082002317{padding-right: 100px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}&#8221; col_shadow=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221; col_shadow_hover=&#8221;box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)&#8221; responsive_styles=&#8221;padding_left_desktop:80|padding_right_desktop:80|padding_left_tablet:20|padding_right_tablet:20|padding_left_mobile:20|padding_right_mobile:20&#8243;][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=&#8221;40&#8243; screen_normal_resolution=&#8221;1024&#8243; screen_tablet_resolution=&#8221;800&#8243; screen_mobile_resolution=&#8221;480&#8243;][dfd_heading subtitle=&#8221;&#8221; delimiter_settings=&#8221;delimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:3&#8243; undefined=&#8221;&#8221; title_font_options=&#8221;tag:h2&#8243; subtitle_font_options=&#8221;tag:div&#8221;]NO ACCESS TO SUN CREAMS OR BASIC CARE[\/dfd_heading][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=&#8221;20&#8243; screen_normal_resolution=&#8221;1024&#8243; screen_tablet_resolution=&#8221;800&#8243; screen_mobile_resolution=&#8221;480&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"gt-block\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>There is very low<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>access to sun creams<\/strong> and when there is, the distribution channels are inefficient and centralized in referral hospitals to which only privileged people have access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gt-block\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The\u00a0<strong>creams are often of low quality<\/strong> and their delivery is not accompanied by education.
