Suzanne Nyiranshuti (41), the Director of Nursing at Gisenyi Hospital, puts on personal protective equipment (PPE) at the recently built Ebola Treatment Center in Rwanda, on August 21, 2019. ÒAs a contagious disease many people could be affected if it spreads, and that could really harm our community," Suzanne Nyiranshuti said. ÒThatÕs why weÕre doing everything we can to communicate with the community now, and ensure they know what to do if the virus does cross the border.Ó

RwandaÕs health gains in the last decade are among the worldÕs most dramatic. Health insurance Ñ called Mutuelle de SantŽ Ñ is nearly universal, life expectancy rose from 29 to 68 years between 1994 and 2015, and mortality during childbirth fell by 70% over the same period.
