Editor,

I wish to encourage other countries within the region to learn a few valuable lessons from Rwanda, one of the most effective providers of universal health care

Countries need to take particular interest in how Rwanda has managed to roll-out a countrywide medical insurance scheme known as (Mutuelle de santé). The enormous investments in this crucial sector have dramatically changed the ordinary people’s lives.

The biggest challenge for the region is designing policies and programmes that will benefit ordinary citizens who cannot afford their medical bills.
