Portrait of Baraka Jean, manager of the recently built Ebola Treatment Center in Rwanda, on August 21, 2019. ÒWe are ready. We have a team, day and night, prepared to respond. All equipment and materials are organized, including medicine, clothing, beds, ambulances," said Baraka Jean. ÒPeople are afraid, itÕs true. But the community here understands, and theyÕre aware of Ebola. They understand what needs to be done to support prevention, and who to call if a case happens. This is very different from Congo."

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.
