It was a pleasure to join the panel at #Research4Rwanda2024 today. Public and Private Partnerships are crucial for advancing Rwanda's health research agenda. By leveraging the partnerships avenues in both sectors, we can improve healthcare outcomes.
An interesting panel of experts representing @CIIC_HIN @ughe_org, @CHAI_health, @PIH_Rwanda and @RBCRwanda today discussed how private and public partnerships are essential to drive innovation and health reform. #Research4Rwanda2024
