Overview

Our work has helped to enhance the resilience of Rwanda’s health sector, including bringing health insurance to more than 80% of Rwanda’s population. By addressing the challenges of human resources shortages, especially in rural areas; poor quality of services; and a high morbidity and mortality rate among women and children, our programs support the Government of Rwanda in building a sustainable health system capable of leading and managing care with a focus on health financing, human resources for health, institutional capacity, gender equity and social inclusion, and health information systems and data use.

We support effective pharmaceutical management in Rwanda by developing standards and an accreditation system for pharmaceutical services, promoting consistent use of regulatory systems, and building the capacity of the Rwanda FDA’s pharmacovigilance system. Current programmatic work is focused on strengthening leadership, resilience, and capacity at all levels of the health system to ensure sustained quality services and advance equitable health outcomes.
