Yesterday,@ursss_rwanda attended the 1st Rwanda Surgical Care Symposium 2026 at @kigaliserena

Under the theme, "Towards the Implementation of the Rwanda Perioperative Care Strategic Plan: The Role of Public and Private Health Care Actors,"
the symposium highlighted the power of collaboration in strengthening surgical care across Rwanda.

We extend our sincere appreciation to @Surgical_RW ,@EJOHEZAHospital , @operationsmile and @Fostino21 for organizing and supporting this impactful event.

We were inspired by the remarkable 10-year contribution of @EJOHEZAHospital in delivering surgical services and building a lasting healthcare legacy for Rwandans.

As @ursss_rwanda, we are encouraged by the commitment of both public and private healthcare actors toward implementing the Rwanda Perioperative Care Strategic Plan and advancing safe, accessible, and quality surgical care.

We also commend @RwandaHealth for its ongoing 4×4 Reform Programme aimed at strengthening and expanding Rwanda's health workforce.

As future healthcare professionals, we believe that stronger surgical systems begin with investing in students through education, mentorship, research, and early surgical exposure.

The community didn't just listen — they SPOKE. Real stories. Real accidents. Real change.

Local leaders committed to keep applying this knowledge.

Because health education doesn't end when Umuganda does. 💚

🚨 A minor wound can turn deadly if ignored.

Yesterday, at Cyarwa Secondary School, Huye, our #MySHeC team reached 100 students with life-saving knowledge on domestic injury prevention.

Knowledge saves lives.

A safer home starts with awareness. 🏠🚑

Last Saturday in Cyiri Village, Huye District, #MySHeC joined Umuganda activities and engaged residents on preventing domestic injuries, protecting children from accidents, and responding early when injuries occur.

[MySHeC @myshec_gsaf]

🔥 250 students. Zero quiet moments.
The #MySHeC team just wrapped an electric outreach at G.S Gisagara A in Ndora, Gisagara.
We talked domestic injuries, animal bites, first aid and even prevention.
Mutuelle de Santé covers domestic injuries. Did YOU know that?

Yesterday, @ursss_rwanda visited G.S. Gisagara A through #MySHeC campaign
Some of most dangerous injuries are not always most visible they are often the ones people ignore first,
From delayed care to harmful first-aid practices, small mistakes can lead to serious effects

The energy in the room was remarkable.

Through games, discussions, and active participation, students transformed the session into a vibrant learning experience. Their curiosity reminded us that health education is most effective when communities are actively involved.
