As we celebrate One Health day, I reflect on my role. OH is critical to address most of the pressing health issues including both infectious and NCDs. I contributed to various workshops and training sessions addressing #AMR using #OH approach. @OazisHealth @amr_initiative

Rwanda has published its first national Climate and Health Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) Assessment!
It shows how climate hazards affect Rwandans' health, where communities and the health system are most at risk, and what to prioritize to build resilience. It gives policymakers the evidence to guide planning and investment for a climate-resilient health system.
Developed by the Ministry of Health with national institutions and partners through the National Climate and Health Technical Working Group. We thank everyone who contributed.

This weekend , I was delighted to participate in the Canadian Conference on Global Health, in Montreal, Canada where I delivered an oral presentation on the research evaluating the impact of drone-based delivery of blood products on Postpartum hemorrhage-specific maternal mortality in Rwanda. This is the first paper for my doctoral thesis, a meaningful start of the second part of my PhD journey. I hope to share the paper with everyone once published by a peer-review journal.
I was also excited to participate in the first General Assembly meeting of the Canadian Association of Global Health(CAGH), an organisation I have been member for past 2 years ago.
One of the highlights was witnessing my supervisor, Professor Michael Law receiving the CCGH 2026 Vic Neufeld Mentorship Award in Global Health. I feel fortunate and wish every doctoral student to have a supervisor like him.Congratulations, Mike, on this well-deserved recognition!
It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with friends from Rwanda and meet colleagues from different corners in Canada.
