Minister @nsanzimanasabin and Minister @MusoniPaula hosted @BillGates at Rwanda’s National Health Intelligence Center (NHIC) to showcase how centralized, real-time data is transforming healthcare delivery across the country.
Since its launch, NHIC has unified national health data to shift public policy from reactive to proactive—delivering concrete impact across the entire care continuum by:
⏱️ Reducing patient wait times at health facilities;
🚑 Streamlining emergency dispatch and ambulance response times;
🛡️ Elevating disease surveillance and containment;
🎯 Optimizing targeted resource allocation.
Looking ahead, partnership with the @GatesFoundation will enable NHIC to scale its operations—expanding capabilities toward predictive health intelligence to anticipate outbreaks, issue intelligent early-warning alerts, and prevent health threats before they escalate.
By leveraging modern technologies and consolidating national health data, Rwanda continues to strengthen its ability to deliver high-quality, efficient, and responsive care for all.

Today, RBC in partnership with @GOAL3_WAH and @expertisefrance presented the findings from the study “Emergency and Critical Care Assessment (ECCA) for paediatric patients in Rwanda”
The findings from the study provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of neonatal and pediatric ECC and the urgent need to address the identified gaps in staffing, training, equipment, and health information systems to ensure better availability of essential ECC procedures in #public hospitals across #Rwanda .
Emergency and critical care services are essential for providing immediate and lifesaving interventions to patients experiencing severe medical emergencies.
The effectiveness of these services is crucial for improving patient survival, recovery, and reducing long-term complications, especially in neonatal and pediatric care.
