Despite significant progress, poverty and inadequate healthcare remain problematic issues for the population of Rwanda.
Per capita income has more than tripled over the past two decades, and poverty has been significantly reduced. Progress has also been made in other areas, such as access to education for children and health care for pregnant women and young children.
More than 80 percent of Rwanda’s population lives in rural areas, where infrastructure and government services are often still insufficient to adequately meet people’s needs.
As early as the 1970s, in the early days of action medeor, medication deliveries were sent from the warehouse in Tönisvorst to partners in Rwanda. Aid shipments to Rwanda have a long tradition – and continue to this day.
In addition to these deliveries, action medeor's work in Rwanda focuses on the training and education of pharmaceutical professionals. Several projects have been implemented in recent years: from supporting a master's program in "Health Supply Chain Management," in which an action medeor pharmacist personally taught individual modules, to a large-scale program to improve local drug production, to a current project providing basic pharmaceutical training for healthcare workers in rural areas.
