Excited to meet Dr. Clementine Uwimbabazi from the @RBCRwanda ENT Care Department at #AHTS5. Grateful to learn more about @uphls and Rwanda Biomedical Centre #WinsigaNdumva initiative, which provides hearing support and tools to children, youth, and adults with hearing disabilities.

Healthy food is food that provides the essential nutrients our bodies need to function, grow, and stay healthy. Every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and support your well-being. Choose nutritious foods, stay hydrated, and make healthy eating part of your everyday lifestyle. #HealthyEating #Nutrition #Wellness

Healthy food is more than nourishment, it’s an investment in our health. A balanced diet provides essential nutrients, supports overall wellbeing, and helps reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. Let’s make healthy choices a daily habit for healthier lives. #HealthyEating #NCDPrevention #Wellbeing #HealthForAll

I recently visited @ReadyforReading during @medsar_rwanda Kanguka Umenye III Community Outreach, a community library and learning center in Rwinkwavu dedicated to empowering children and young people. Through access to books, youth-friendly holiday activities, music, sports, and empowerment programs, they are nurturing a culture of learning, discipline, values, and personal growth. Thank you, Ready for Reading, for your commitment to empowering youth and children in @KayonzaDistrict Every library opens a new world of opportunities. @JosephRyarasa @BoscoManirabona #Education #YouthEmpowerment #Rwanda

#GWEC2026 Medical students gained deeper insights into wellness and the role future public health leaders can play as ambassadors of wellbeing within our communities. @medsar_rwanda remains committed to shaping a healthier Rwanda for all through preventive medicine, health promotion, and empowering future healthcare professionals. As the healthcare workforce remains limited, prevention and wellness advocacy are powerful solutions toward sustainable healthcare. We appreciate all partners supporting this vision and investing in the wellbeing of communities and future health leaders. @GWE_Conference @HDIRwanda @adepe_rwanda @RwandaHealth @ahfrwanda @NARwanda @AissaCyiza @DGishoma @harerimana_tito @ImeghLearning @gatesfoundation @Knooliet @IsraelinRwanda @RukundJerome #MEDSARWorks #Wellness #PublicHealth #MentalHealth #HealthWorkforce #Rwanda
