I visited and had a most inspiring meeting this afternoon with Prof. @ccpcotton , Vice-Chancellor @ughe_org , a non-profit university of health sciences in Rwanda focused on training and provision of rural health care in Africa. Phil was previously Vice-Chancellor of @Uni_Rwanda.

Huge congratulations to the graduates of #UGHE’s 9th cohort in Global Health Delivery! A special thank you to Hon. Dr. @nsanzimanasabin and Dr. Vikram Patel for their inspiring addresses at #UGHEGraduation2024.

Delighted to have welcomed Hon. Minister @gtwagirayezu, to @ughe_org Butaro Campus! We look forward to ongoing collaboration with @Rwanda_Edu

Today, June 19th, 2024, Hon.@gtwagirayezu visited the @ughe_org and had a meeting with the Vice Chancellor Prof. Philip Cotton, the University's management, and the Mayor of @BureraDistrict Ms. Soline Mukamana.

It was a pleasure to join the panel at #Research4Rwanda2024 today. Public and Private Partnerships are crucial for advancing Rwanda's health research agenda. By leveraging the partnerships avenues in both sectors, we can improve healthcare outcomes.

We've been featured on @NewsHour!👏 The spotlight highlights #UGHE's efforts to alleviate healthcare and disease burden in Africa by educating healthcare providers committed to serving their communities. Huge thanks to @newshourfred & team! @UnderTold pbs.org/newshour/show/…

BREAKING: The United Kingdom has approved the use of #Covid19 vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, becoming the first country to do so. Britain is battling a major upsurge in infections and deaths, mainly driven by the new strain of the virus.
