You can’t talk about child health without recognizing the institutions shaping it.
@WVRwanda, @Rwanda_Child & @CladhoRwa are turning the fight against child malnutrition into action.
Protecting children, strengthening families and shaping a healthier generation for Rwanda.

After a child passes the period of exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding starts instantly. (L8)
It's very important and very nourishing to feed the child a variety of foods.
Include grains and cereals, vegetables, fruits, protein-rich foods and healthy fats.
As #WBW2026 ends, our commitment continues.
During Year Two clinical placement at Nyange Health Center in @MusanzeDistrict , @urphsa used @Rwanda_Child counseling cards.
We educated mothers on exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding on demand, and complementary feeding.
Breastfeeding continues to transform child health in #Rwanda .
High exclusive breastfeeding rates among infants 0–5 months and declining stunting reflect real progress.
Every mother deserves the support to give every #child the healthiest start in life.
#BreastfeedingWeek2026
Day 5 World Breastfeeding Week.
Breastfeeding protects mothers by reducing bleeding, supporting family planning, and strengthening bonding.
It lowers breast and ovarian cancer risks.
Let’s support every breastfeeding mother.

At #AIDS2026 in Rio de Janeiro, #Brazil, yesterday was an opportunity for HDI & #TubitehoProject partners to exchange experiences, share best practices and learn from organisations and programmes advancing the #HIV response in different contexts.
We also showcased research on HIV testing services through a poster presentation, highlighting lessons from our work and contributing to the evidence being shared at the conference.

Serving our communities is one of the greatest investments we can make.
Every health screening and conversation builds healthier, stronger communities.
Together, we create lasting impact.
Grateful for the opportunity to serve the community

We are thrilled to inaugurate Global Public Health Week 2026 as the University of Rwanda – College of Medicine and health sciences becomes the focal point for academic excellence and strategic health discourse.
In a high-level convergence of academia, researchers, and global health practitioners, #URPHSA facilitated a seminal panel discussion analyzing the critical nexus of Health, Peace, and Sustainable Development in Rwanda.
The session was catalyzed by a powerful opening from Prof. Nyirazinyoye Laetitia (Chair, @RPHA_Official) and a compelling call to action from Dr. Brian Chirombo (@WHORwanda Representative) on the imperative of #PeaceForHealth as a cornerstone of resilient societies.
Our profound gratitude to our distinguished guests from @WHORwanda , @unicefrw, the School of Public Health, and the Mental Health Center, for their commitment to fostering these essential multi-sectoral synergies.
This milestone marks the commencement of a global public health week dedicated to transformative advocacy and collective impact.

Knowing your HIV status saves lives.
Early HIV testing leads to timely treatment, better health outcomes, and helps prevent transmission.
Let's make routine testing a normal part of healthcare and work together to end HIV stigma.

We easily spot physical injuries, but mental health struggles usually happen in complete silence. True awareness isn't just about acknowledging they exist, it demands active empathy, proper care, and breaking the stigma entirely.
TUYIZERE Abel (SRHR Program Manager, URPHSA) reminds us, we have to look closer and support deeper.
Your story is entirely yours, and you don’t owe it to anyone. But remember: choosing to share it when you are ready might just be the blueprint someone else needs to start their own healing journey.
Let’s bring the unseen into the light.
More Good Days, Together.
