“Rwanda aims to be a high-income country, by 2050. That requires abundant electricity, and that is why we have decided to make nuclear energy central to our strategy. Achieving this requires strong institutions, sound regulation,and an educated workforce, and that is the foundation Rwanda is building. Rwanda is determined to do what it takes, to power our development with nuclear energy, and we look forward to you being a part of this journey.” President Kagame | Nuclear Energy Summit.

Twenty-five years of CBHI (Community-Based Health Insurance) - new reforms expand the benefits package to include specialised and high-cost services such as dialysis, cancer treatment & major surgeries, improving access to quality healthcare while ensuring the scheme’s long-term sustainability. #Mituweli25 “Previously, many people needed these services but simply could not afford them. With the revised premiums, access will improve and quality care will become more affordable for those who need it most.” newtimes.co.rw/article/33569/…

Isabukuru nziza ya #Mituweli25 ==== 25 years ago, Rwanda introduced Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI). Since then, the scheme has redefined access to healthcare and transformed countless lives. Today, the CBHI benefits package has expanded even further to include advanced and specialized services such as cancer care, kidney treatment, interventional cardiology, neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures, among others. Now is the time to further strengthen CBHI and continue building a resilient, high-quality health system for everyone. Happy #Mituweli25

As life expectancy rises in Rwanda, movement matters. Staying active protects memory, slows brain ageing, calms inflammation, strengthens brain wiring, & supports healthy blood flow — even with genetic risk. Move often. Think longer. Protect your brain. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cp…

Great paper from @ScienceMagazine (34,000 ppl; sports, music, science, chess & more): Top adult performers didn’t specialize early. They explored, tried many things, built curiosity & confidence. Let kids discover widely. Greatness grows over time. 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Independent minds. Sharp intellect. Creative, even unconventional thinking. When that individual strength is aligned, flexible, and mobilized collectively, it becomes force for the common good. That, is the essence of RPF leadership and Rwanda’s progress. 🔴⚪️🔵

“But even as things change, and they must change continually, not everything changes. There is always something that remains constant: who you are, and the values and aspirations that define how you should live and respond in the midst of change. The core must remain constant. In governance, the principles we must uphold are rooted in our history, our words, and the actions we strive for. The RPF has always said we must fight corruption. That principle does not change. The idea of fighting corruption from 31 years ago cannot be abandoned simply because we now live in a world that tolerates corruption, whatever that world may be. Rather, what changes are the methods we use to fight it. The principle itself does not change.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress
