HIV doesn’t spread through touch, hugs, or sharing food — only through real scientific pathways like unprotected sex, contaminated blood, and mother-to-child transmission. Let’s end myths, stop stigma, and know our status. #WorldAIDSDay2025@AbayisengaOliv3
Update
Minisitiri w’Ubuzima, Dr Nsanzimana Sabin ati:
“Hari kuvugwa icyorezo cya Ebola, ni virusi yo mu muryango umwe na Marbug twigeze guhangana nayo hano mu Gihugu ariko ntabwo Ebola irigera igaragara na rimwe mu Rwanda n’uyu munsi nta Ebola ihari.”
The training explores key areas including the realities faced by people who use drugs (PWUD), stigma and discrimination, health risks such as HIV, hepatitis, TB, mental health and overdose, as well as Rwanda’s harm reduction approach and available services including OAT. Participants are also engaging on overdose prevention and human rights-based reporting. #AdvancingHealthRights
Healthy eating is one of the strongest investments we can make for our future.

Good nutrition today means a healthier tomorrow for everyone.
What is the #PeriodFriendlyWorld that girls and women want?
It is where schools, communities, workplaces and policies stand for menstrual health and hygiene.
@PlanRwanda Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Advisor, Alice Bumanzi, as we mark #MenstrualHygieneDay.
Menstrual health is a right, not a privilege ❤️
This Menstrual Hygiene Day, let’s break the stigma, normalize conversations about periods, and create a world where every girl can manage her menstruation safely and with dignity.
Together, we can build a #PeriodFriendlyWorld .
Children need more human connection, not just internet connection.
Children today are growing up in a world surrounded by screens, smartphones, and constant internet access. While technology can support learning and connection, excessive exposure at an early age is becoming a growing public health concern.
Research from the @WHO, @UNICEF, and the @AmerAcadPeds shows that too much screen time in children can affect brain development, sleep quality, physical activity, attention span, social interaction, and mental health. Early exposure to social media and uncontrolled internet use has also been linked to anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, and reduced emotional development.
As communities, parents, educators, and public health professionals, we must promote balanced and age-appropriate use of technology. Children need more time for play, human interaction, reading, creativity, and outdoor activities — not only screens.
Protecting child development in the digital age is not about rejecting technology, but about using it responsibly and safeguarding the wellbeing of the next generation.

This Global Surgery Week, SCOME is championing the idea that systems save lives. But to build those systems, we have to change how we train. Medical education must evolve to focus not just on anatomy, but on public health, infrastructure, and teamwork.

.@operationsmile and Rwanda made it!
Watching « The Making of a Surgeon « in Uppsala was deeply moving. This film is powerful story about people, partnership, hope, and the long journey of rebuilding a health system through investing in human beings.
A special appreciation to Dylan Williams for capturing it with such humanity and care and grateful to Operation Smile for their support. The film follows the inspiring work of Dr. Ntirenganya Faustin, representing so many others : surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, residents, and supporting teams who spend endless hours in theatres and hospitals every day saving lives, restoring dignity, and giving hope to families.
It is also the story of patriotic Rwandan doctors and health professionals who trained abroad and chose to come back home to serve their country destroyed by the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and help rebuild our healthcare system. That spirit of service and commitment is what makes lasting change possible.
What makes this journey even more meaningful is that it could not have happened without the Government of Rwanda’s consistent and full commitment to put people at the center of every sector’s rebuilding. Expanding geographic and financial access to care, while investing in a skilled and dedicated workforce, created the foundation upon which partnerships like Operation Smile could truly succeed.
Even the strongest global partner cannot succeed without strong local systems and committed local professionals. Together, Operation Smile and Rwanda made it work.
The ambition to train 30 reconstructive surgery specialists by 2030 reflects not only a medical goal, but a vision for the future. One that aligns strongly with the Rwanda Ministry of Health’s 4x4 strategy to strengthen specialized healthcare and invest in the next generation of health professionals.
Deep appreciation to everyone bringing this story to the world , good partners, and to all the healthcare workers quietly serving every day with skill, compassion, and resilience. Behind every transformed life is a team that chose to care.
