The goal of the HRH Program is to strengthen the
health workforce necessary to create a high quality, sustainable healthcare
system in Rwanda. The HRH Program aims to significantly increase the quantity
and quality of Rwandan clinicians and health sciences educators including: medical
doctors, nurses and midwives, and health managers. This substantial scale-up
will be achieved with the assistance of an unprecedented consortium of 14
highly ranked US institutions. Each US school is sending full-time faculty
members to Rwanda to help improve teaching, research, curriculum development ,
and mentorship over a 7-year period.
