Today, DG @CMuvunyi opened a 3-day #TRIBEHUB workshop focused on turning health sector evidence and experience into better policies and real improvements in service delivery.
The workshop brought together health partners to capture lessons from health investments, translate evidence into actionable recommendations, and develop practical tools, such as policy briefs and toolkits, to strengthen decision-making across the health sector.

In his remarks, DG Prof. Muvunyi stressed that knowledge should not remain within individual projects or institutions; it must be shared, built upon, and put into action across the health sector.
He called for practical learning, clear policy recommendations, and the continued use of knowledge generated beyond the workshop. "The real value of our investments is not just what we achieve, but what we learn, share, and turn into better health outcomes for #Rwanda-ns."

Thank you HoD for the message. Feeling better doesn’t mean the bacteria are killed. On the contrary, some survive and develop resistance to the #Antibiotics. Let’s complete prescribed dose. @RBCRwanda @RwandaHealth

[Africa HealthTech Summit | AHTS @AfricaHTSummit]

“We can have many problems as a nation, but when we face a health crisis, it becomes the only problem that matters.”, Dr.@nsanzimanasabin, @RwandaHealth. At #AHTS2025, Dr. Sabin delivered a visionary call to action: Africa must embrace technology not tomorrow, but today.

He outlined a powerful roadmap for the continent’s digital health transformation:
▻ Early detection of diseases using smart tech
▻ Real-time outbreak monitoring and e-prescriptions
▻ Future-ready health systems that are both resilient and inclusive
▻ Tech guided by humanity, equity, and shared African values

His message was clear: technology is already in our hands, it’s time to use it wisely, collaboratively, and ethically.
