 The Ministry of Health is committed to improving the Rwandan population’s health situation by strengthening the quality of service delivered and providing access to treatment through universal health insurance coverage (Mutuelles de Santé). To enhance public health services, we are in the midst of a deep reform which will address the major traditional problems of health as well as the new challenges posed by the pandemic of HIV/AIDS. To respond to the Rwandan Government’s ambitious plan for the country’s sustainable development as detailed in its 2020 Vision, we strongly believe that quality of care must continuously be a national priority. For this to happen, we need to focus on human resources development, building and sustaining ‘Mutuelles de Santé’ and reinforcing decentralization within the health sector. As you view the documents on this Website and read about the remarkable work done by our different units and programs, we hope that you will be inspired to get involved in our efforts. We are grateful to national and international partners who continue to help us in achieving a more sustainable health for the Rwandan population. |
