UGHE is an initiative of Partners In Health (PIH),
an internationally recognized non-profit organization whose mission is to provide
a preferential option for the poor in health care. In over nearly three decades
of operating alongside public sectors in countries around the world, PIH has
developed a model to deliver high quality health care to some of the world’s
most marginalized communities. Nowhere has this impact been more profound than
in Rwanda, where Inshuti Mu Buzima—PIH’s sister organization—and our government
partners have driven innovation for a decade.
