Rwanda’s healthcare systems, including service delivery, are set for greater improvement as a result of two projects funded to the combined tune of $85 million (more than Rwf105 billion) in total, by the United States – through its Agency for International Development (USAID), it has emerged.
On December 8, in Kigali, USAID announced the two projects: Ireme (‘Quality’) and Tubeho (‘Let’s live’), which are aimed at supporting and further strengthening Rwanda’s healthcare system.
The two projects will be implemented by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and Jhpiego, respectively.
Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is a global nonprofit organisation that provides governments, health organisations, and the private sector with health systems strategies, tools, and management support.
Jhpiego is a global nonprofit organisation which partners with national governments, health experts, and local communities to build health providers’ skills and develop systems that save lives.
According to a press release issued by the project implementers, the official event launch was held in Kigali and was attended by the Minister of Health, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, the U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda, Eric W. Kneedler, and partners and stakeholders in the health sector.
