The conversation around whether Rwanda’s health sector can be trusted, and together they answer the question: Do hospitals have a case to answer? One of the topics that sparked interest last week is that of 15-year-old Mustafa Nzamwita who was given a two year suspended sentence for possession and sale of cannabis, and Ntayombya delves into the role society played in it all.
