I was proud to join the government and partners at this important workshop to reflect on what we achieved and what we can do better. Thinking of our neighbors #Uganda and #Tanzania as they fight their battles against #ebola and #marburg @unicefrw

[Rwanda Biomedical Centre @RBCRwanda]

Today, RBC in collaboration with stakeholders and partners, concluded a 5-day After Action Review (#AAR) workshop for the #Marburg virus disease outbreak response.

The review focused on what went well, good practices, challenges encountered, and lessons learned during the response to the #MVD outbreak, and identified areas for improvement for future preparedness.

This qualitative review helps to strengthen national capacities for public health emergency response.
