Kwibuka wiyubaka bivuze iki?
Ni uguhagarara wemye kandi bagucecekesha
Kwibuka abo utabonye birashoboka?
Reba hirya no hino, ngabo bose urabahetse:
Umva ibitwenge byabo mu bitambambuga bacu.
Kwibuka Twiyubaka, ntabwo ari umutwaro,

Today, I watched my brother turn dough into pride at La Mane, where he’s training as a baker and pastry chef. His skill speaks for itself.
Thank you, LaMane, for opening the door to his talent.

Thank u for joining us today #PSTM2026 #ShareUpdates @The_PSF @shareplasticsu1 discussing building resilient subspeciality care for Africa.
Learning from @RwandaHealth @Surgical_RW experience.
"The future of plastic surgery in Africa should not rely on visiting specialits or training programs set abroad... rather on specialists we train locally, the systems we build and the lives we impact and transform....".

Three years of training. Three years of research. Three years of transforming the future of surgery in Africa.
Thank you to every surgeon, clinician, researcher, partner, and learner who has been part of this journey.

#Rwanda_Perioperative_HealthCare_Strategic_Plan_2026_2030 is officially launched. Thank you Hon. Minister @nsanzimanasabin @RwandaHealth for making this happen.
This strategic plan follows and builds on #RwandaNSOAP 2018-2024. It marks an important milestone in strengthening further and advancing surgery, anesthesia, perioperative nursing, critical care and all support services in Rwanda. It provides a clear framework for improving workforce, service delivery, quality, safety, accessibility, financing and efficiency of perioperative services over the next five years.
The successful implementation of this plan will require strong collaboration among healthcare professionals, institutions, partners, policymakers, and the general public.
Together, we can build a stronger, safer, and more responsive surgical and perioperative healthcare system for #Rwanda.
Thank u @Surgical_RW @Uni_Rwanda @ughe_org @GSRHRwanda @operationsmile @OpSmileRwanda and everyone who contributed...
We only have to remember that " the best plan remains a plan till fully implemented"✅️ THE JOB STARTS NOW!

CHUK Endoscopy team lead by Dr Gaspard Habimana (Pediatric Gastroenterologist), recently successfully removed a piece of a screwdriver from the stomach of a 5-month-baby. This saved the child from a potential open surgery, marking another milestone for #Endoscopy care in Rwanda.
