This is provided for through private health insurance. Referrals for specific care that cannot be provided within Rwanda can be made under the insurance contract to a third country, with consent of the individual, and as confirmed by a medical referral board.

They do not need to prove criminal intent. The penalty for a Section 53A offence is a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale (up to £1,000). In gathering evidence of a Section 53A offence, the police will prioritise actions that may lead to charges for more serious offences, such as modern slavery or causing or inciting or controlling prostitution for gain.
