GHLI in Rwanda
MHA students at the University of Rwanda put their heads together and apply their problem solving skills.
GHLI partners with universities across the U.S. to support the Rwandan Ministry of Health's Human Resources for Health Program (HRH). Representing a new model for global collaboration, HRH aims to build the capacity of Rwandan universities and teaching hospitals for a sustainable pipeline of health care professionals to meet the country's health care delivery needs. This work brings together clinical faculty from various specialties to develop more effective residency programs at the National University of Rwanda and associated teaching hospitals. GHLI serves as the lead partner in healthcare management, providing mentorship in the development of management systems and structures at the country's key teaching hospitals, and establishing an MHA degree program at the Rwanda School of Health Sciences for hospital and health care executives.
