History[edit | edit source]
Health Builders was established in response to the critical need for improved healthcare infrastructure in Rwanda, a country that has faced significant challenges in healthcare delivery due to its history and economic constraints. The organization was founded by a group of healthcare professionals and development experts who recognized the potential for sustainable health improvements through infrastructure development and capacity building.
Programs[edit | edit source]

Infrastructure Development[edit | edit source]
Health Builders constructs and renovates health centers and hospitals across Rwanda. These facilities are equipped with modern medical equipment and are designed to provide comprehensive healthcare services, including maternal and child health, infectious disease treatment, and chronic disease management.

The organization provides training and support to healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and community health workers. This training focuses on improving clinical skills, management practices, and the use of health information systems to enhance patient care and health outcomes.
Health Information Systems[edit | edit source]
Health Builders implements health information systems to improve data collection, analysis, and reporting. These systems enable healthcare facilities to track patient outcomes, manage resources efficiently, and make informed decisions about healthcare delivery.
Community Health Initiatives[edit | edit source]
In addition to facility-based care, Health Builders supports community health initiatives that promote preventive care and health education. These initiatives aim to reduce the incidence of preventable diseases and improve overall community health.
