About Partners In Health Rwanda
Partners In Health/Inshuti Mu Buzima (PIH/IMB) has been working in Rwanda since 2005. In partnership with the Government of Rwanda and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), our work supports the Ministry of Health to comprehensively strengthen the public health system in rural, underserved areas of the country. Initially, PIH and CHAI began by implementing a pilot project in two rural districts in Rwanda’s Eastern Province, Kayonza and Kirehe.
Building off of PIH’s approach in Haiti, the project was designed as a comprehensive primary health care model within the public sector. The approach used HIV/AIDS prevention and care as the entry point to build capacity to address the major health problems faced by the local population. Our Haitian physicians, nurses, and managers traveled to Rwanda extensively in the early years of the project to conduct trainings, design programs, and provide direct clinical care.
Since starting the Rwanda project in 2005, Partners In Health/Inshuti Mu Buzima (PIH/IMB) has moved quickly in the rural Kayonza and Kirehe districts to rebuild hospitals; capacitate health centers; provide essential medicines, supplies and equipment; recruit, train, and retain staff; establish a network of community health workers who are trained and supervised by the public health system; and develop a robust referral and transport network integrating area three levels of care.
