Rwanda Human Resources for Health Program
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 23 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 an 8-year
period. For further details about the HRH Program, please refer to the
