.@RwandainSweden was delighted to host an engaging and productive gathering with @SwecareSweden , HE The Ambassadors of Nigeria, Tanzania, Botswana and the Republic of the Congo, as well as representatives from the Embassies of Zimbabwe and Angola.
The discussion provided an excellent opportunity to explore the potential of Swecare’s network of 120 member companies and identify ways to strengthen healthcare partnerships, foster innovation and promote investment between Africa and the Nordic region.
We also shared updates on the upcoming African Nordic Health Summit, which will take place in Rwanda on 9–10 February 2027.
We warmly invite healthcare companies, institutions and stakeholders across both regions to join us for the Pre-Summit Webinar on 6 November to learn more about the Summit, connect with key stakeholders and explore exciting opportunities for collaboration and engagement.
Let’s turn dialogue into partnerships, and partnerships into meaningful impact. Together, we can shape a stronger future for Africa–Nordic healthcare cooperation through shared knowledge, innovation, investment and sustainable partnerships.
We look forward to welcoming you online for the Pre-Summit Webinar 6th Nov 3-4 PM ( CET) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

It was an ordinary day that my lovely Mum (passed away in Aug 2026💔) gave me birth in a small village in exile. Now I celebrate my Birthday without her but within my Country. Thanks to God for the gift of life given to me.

“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline.
Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour.
The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement
Nurses/midwives regret the statement of @PaulGitwaza during preaching @ZionTempleCC on 7th 08 2026 dishonoring our profession. We thank this apology step after we met yesterday and looking forward to more steps ahead. @RNMU1, @RwandaHealth, @nsanzimanasabin. @RwandaLocalGov.
