The Ministry of Health provides and continually improves health services to the Rwandan population through the provision of preventive, curative, and rehabilitative healthcare, thereby contributing to the reduction of poverty and enhancing the general well-being of the population.

This is intended to be achieved through:  

• Full implementation of the main health programs (e.g. demand, access and quality) 
• Strengthening the health systems building blocks (e.g. policies, resources and management) 
• Strengthening all levels of service delivery (e.g. organize the services effectively at all levels, referrals) 
• Ensuring effective governance of the sector (e.g. decentralization, partnership, private sector coordination, aid effectiveness, and financial management)
