harvard to launch course in rwanda
Over 41 senior faculty members and students from Burundi, Haiti, Rwanda, and the United States gathered in Rwinkwavu, Kayonza District, to launch the Global Health Delivery course, led by Harvard Medical School in conjunction with the Ministry of Health.
This is the first time the prestigious Harvard Medical School conducts the course out of their Boston campus.
The Global Health Delivery is a course that utilizes a novel educational framework to address the global burden of disease and its complex inter-related social determinants, with the objective of empowering a new generation of leaders in the health sector to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice in health care delivery.
The Minister of Health, Dr Agnes Binagwaho, also a senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School, said that the course is an authentic and effective capacity building tool for the health sector, meant to break the vicious cycle of poverty and disease.
