Rwanda

IntraHealth has been working with Rwandans for nearly 20 years to address the country's need for high-quality health care services. Collaborating with government ministries and local partners, IntraHealth focuses on strengthening health workers and the systems that support them, increasing access to HIV/AIDS clinical services and family planning services, building a foundation for community-based health care, and integrating maternal, newborn, and child health services, including malaria and nutrition, with other health care.

IntraHealth is supporting the government and policy-makers to further develop and promote a comprehensive, evidence-based national reproductive health program that respects the rights of individuals. This effort, along with assistance to further expand family planning services to include emergency contraception and postabortion care, is being carried out thanks to a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. IntraHealth will document the process and outcomes of integrating family planning into its HIV/AIDS programs in Rwanda through a grant from the Tides Foundation. This work will help ensure that clients entering Rwanda’s health care system for HIV services also receive the family planning and reproductive health services they need. With a grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, IntraHealth will also develop and test a model of gender-appropriate, youth-friendly services and build support for such services among health, education, and civic professionals and officials.
