What are your aspirations for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health in Rwanda?
My aspirations for MNCH in Rwanda is to see a reduction in newborn and maternal mortality through provision of the highest possible quality healthcare at all levels of the health system. I aspire to see healthy newborns with the right weight, free from any form of infection; growing to enjoy a balanced diet. For the mother, I aspire to see her receiving quality care from health professionals, and receiving the necessary support from family and community members to ensure that she delivers safely and in good health. Finally, I aspire to see an educated community on provision of support to mothers and children.
