My wish: Rebuilding Rwanda

A sustainable health care model in Rwanda is showing how even the poorest nations can save lives and build resilience. In just 18 months, a rural region went from zero to 2,000 people receiving AIDS treatment and slashed child mortality rates using community health workers. The core insight is that lasting solutions require building functional systems, not just delivering aid. This approach could create a blueprint for transforming health outcomes globally.
