On Friday, 9th August, Rwanda deployed a fleet of 114 brand new basic and advanced life support ambulances across the country to strengthen its emergency medical services.
This follows the delivery and deployment of 80 more brand new ambulances in June 2024.
These ambulances are categorized in two forms based on the equipment they have.
Some are Basic Life Support and others are Advanced Life Support Ambulances.
Rwanda is advancing in promoting the health sector.
In July of 2023, the Government of Rwanda approved the 4×4 Reform, a visionary strategy aimed at quadrupling the number of healthcare workers in the country within the next four years to meet the WHO recommendation of at least 4 healthcare professionals per 1,000 population density.
Under the 4×4 reform, the health sector is projected to expand its pool of health professionals, including residents, fellows, general practitioners, dental surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, and allied health sciences personnel. By the year 2028, this ambitious plan aims to increase the health workforce by a total of 32,973 personnel.
