President Paul Kagame received Ambassador Eric Goosby, the US Global Aids Coordinator who was in the country to launch the Human Resources in the Health sector programme.
Speaking to journalists October 15, shortly after meeting the Head of State, Goosby said that, the health care programme aims to improve the skills of the Rwandan medical personnel to be specialists in various medical fields.
The programme supported by the former US President Bill Clinton through his organisation, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) seeks to address the challenge of Human resources in the health sector through the Ministry of Health.
It will train and educate over 500 medical specialist and more than 1000 nurses over the seven year period.
CHAI has been assisting Rwanda in discussions and negotiations with the US government and Global Fund to implement the national strategic plan for Human Resources for Health.
Nearly 100 US faculty members in various medical fields will be coming to Rwanda for one year placements for a period of seven consecutive years.
