Minister of State @YvanButera visited the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Cardiac Care Unit @kfaisalhospital.
Over the past four years, the center has performed more than 1,100 cardiac surgeries, reflecting the country’s growing capacity in highly specialized care. Rwanda now has its first pediatric interventional cardiologist, pediatric cardiac intensivist, and pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist, trained in Israel through the partnership with @SaveChildsHeart while additional specialists continue advanced training in Rwanda and abroad in cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiac anesthesia, and cardiac critical care.
Today, more patients can access life-saving cardiac services closer to home, delivered by a growing cadre of highly skilled professionals.
We are pleased to announce that Israel’s Ministry of Health has decided to remove #Kenya and #Rwanda from the list of countries subject to temporary Ebola-related entry restrictions.

✅Rwanda has initiated the process of nominating its Northern Province as a UNESCO Global Geopark.
✅A geopark is a designated area containing important rocks, volcanoes, caves, mountains, fossils, or landscapes that are protected and used to support conservation, education, tourism, scientific research, and community development.
✅The country is required to prepare its first UNESCO Global Geopark nomination dossier, providing details and evidence that the area meets UNESCO Global Geopark criteria within six months from June 2026.
✅The nomination process follows a 2025 assessment of the geological, natural, cultural and socio-economic heritage of Northern Province, which confirmed its strong potential for designation as a UNESCO Global Geopark.
✅If successful, Northern Province could join the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, which currently comprises more than 220 sites across over 50 countries worldwide.

Je remercie chaleureusement mon frère et ami, le Président @PaulKagame, ainsi que l’ancien Président Olusegun Obasanjo, pour leur présence à #Lomé, à l’ouverture de la Convention et Exposition africaines du transport aérien 2026. Leur engagement constant en faveur de l’unité et de l’intégration africaines donne une signification particulière à cette rencontre.
Le ciel africain ne doit pas être perçu uniquement comme un espace de circulation. Il constitue un levier stratégique de mobilité, de commerce, de compétitivité et de souveraineté pour notre continent. Il demeure un instrument majeur de la transformation économique africaine et un accélérateur d’opportunités pour notre jeunesse.
C’est dans cet esprit que nous réaffirmons aujourd’hui, à Lomé, notre conviction qu’une Afrique mieux connectée à elle-même sera une Afrique plus forte, plus prospère et plus maîtresse de son destin.

“Air connectivity, at its core, is about Africa’s ability to act collectively and obtain concrete results. For decades, we have spoken about integration, trade and free movement. We know what has to be done. We just have to do it.” President Kagame | African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026
“A single market works best, when rules and standards are predictable and consistent across jurisdictions. The institutions mandated to lead this work already exist, and they deserve our support. The same principle applies to visa policies.
In Rwanda, we removed this particular barrier because we wanted people to visit, connect and discover opportunities. And as we know, it is just the right thing to do. We saw stronger business activity, increased tourism, and expanded air links.
Experience, therefore, shows us that openness and cooperation are powerful drivers of development. No single region has unlocked its potential, while remaining fragmented. Air connectivity opens immense opportunities and possibilities.” President Kagame | African Air Transport Convention & Expo 2026
