Portrait of Eugene Uwamahoro (35), who has been trained to deal with a possible Ebola outbreak, at the Rubavu-Rugerero Ebola Treatment Center (ETC), Rwanda, on August 21, 2019. The ETC is at the ready, though no cases of the virus have been confirmed in Rwanda. About 3,000 health workers in high-risk areas of the country have been vaccinated as a preventive measure, according to the World Health Organization, including more than 1,100 in Gisenyi.

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.
