The Musovu Health Post is in Bugesera district and serves a population of 5175 people. The health post serves between 30 to 100 patients per day (with a greater peak during the malaria period), and provides several health services, ranging from outpatient visits to immunization, laboratory, and maternity. Before the Musovu Health Post was built in September 2019, patients had to walk over two hours to reach the nearest health centers of Juru or Mwogo. In the aim to help bring accessible, affordable, and enhanced quality primary health care services to rural communities in Rwanda, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the non-profit organization Society for Family Health (SFH), Rwanda launched second-generation health posts in 2019. These health posts are set up as a public-private partnership and are being managed by SFH. Health posts like this one serve as an interface between community health workers and the larger health centres in the area. Compared to first-generation health posts that offer a limited menu of basic services, second-generation health posts, like the one in Musovu, represent a new model by providing expanded primary health care services – including primary curative consultations and screening, (NCDs, dental and eye), family planning services (condoms, pills, injections, circumcision), ante- and post-natal consultations, HIV voluntary counseling and testing and provider-initiated testing (basic lab services), management of communicable and non-communicable diseases, wound care, follow up of malnutrition cases, and DOT for tuberculosis. Yvette, Manager of Musovu Health Post, was pleased to mention that the establishment of the health post in Musovu has had a positive impact on a number of indicators, including the increased rate of community-based health insurance (CBHI) contributions within the community. The closest health center is located quite far and requires patients to walk long distances, about 7km from the Musovu health post. Hence, people used to be more reluctant to seek health services and to pay their contribution to CBHI given that did not seek services on a regular basis. Since the health post has been established, they got an incentive to contribute to the CBHI and the rate of contributions increased significantly. “When we started working here [...] community-based health insurance enrolment was very low; people would say ‘we have no hospital here anyway ... so why bother!’ […] But as we speak, Musovu cell is among the first cells in Bugesera district with a high community-based health insurance enrollment.” WHO is working with the Ministry of Health to deliver and strengthen universal health coverage (UHC) in Rwanda. WHO is currently supporting the Ministry to bring greater numbers of health posts to communities, aiming to reduce walking time to a health post to under 25 minutes by 2024.

Over 18 000 refugees who fled Ethiopia’s Tigray region are housed in the camp, which was set up in late 2020. WHO helps to support the population in the Um Rakuba by providing medicines and other health supplies, supervising primary health facilities to ensure good service quality, monitoring disease trends using the Early Warning Alert and Response System (EWARS), and conducting regular water quality monitoring.
