Health Builders is pioneering the use of digital tools to improve quality of care.

In October 2023, Health Builders shared findings from annual health center performance assessments, including exciting improvements in resource management, quality of care, and patient and staff satisfaction.

A snapshot of Health Builders’ impact across facilities it has constructed: 8 state-of-the-art health centers, 2 maternity wards, and 3 health posts.

A young mother in rural Rwanda recently shared with us her experience receiving care during her last pregnancy at Rurembo Health Center.

With non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension being the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 70% of all deaths, Health Builders is following the lead of the Government of Rwanda to tackle the issue with a new approach.

Failure to timely diagnose and respond to complications of pregnancy and childbirth, unwanted pregnancies, and lack of access to quality healthcare services and life-saving commodities are some of the leading causes of preventable maternal, neonatal and child deaths in Rwanda.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are a critical part of Rwanda's approach to health care delivery. Being closer to the community, CHWs perform an essential role in reducing maternal and child mortality in rural Rwanda.

Despite the COVID-19 restrictions, Health Builders staff continues our work to support health centers in rural Rwanda in a number of ways. At the end of November, Health Builders hosted a training to improve infection prevention and control practices for 16 health centers in northwestern Rwanda.
