Dr.Paul F once said:“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.”CHWs are undoing that harm every day.Quietly.Faithfully. To every CHW in RW. this is your applause. You are not just a support to the health system. You are the foundation
Well said @UwaseSandrine7 , it is often left unsaid of the great work that the CHWs do in our society, they are just dedicated and passionate about what they do in general, I was personally inspired by their knowledge and how they clearly demonstrate what they do.

The U.S. sanctions won’t change the reality on the ground in Eastern DRC—where real instability is fueled by genocidal militias like FDLR and corrupt leadership in Kinshasa. Sanctioning a man who has dedicated his life to securing Rwanda and the region is not the solution.
History will remember heroes, not political games.

@alice_kanyana Expectant mothers at high risk deserves so much care and close follow-up, otherwise it's not risky like that, with the advancement of healthcare facilities, the MMR is now 203 deaths per 100,000 live births and by 2030 is to reduce deaths to less than 70 per 100,000 live births..

This year’s theme is “No one should face breast cancer alone.” Together, we can spread awareness, offer support, and fight this battle as one community.
