Partners In Health (PIH) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in healthcare. PIH works globally to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need and to serve as an antidote to despair. In 2005, PIH began working in Rwanda at the invitation of the Government of Rwanda and is known locally as Inshuti Mu Buzima (IMB). PIH began an effort to strengthen the public health systems in rural Rwanda in three rural districts (Kayonza, Burera and Kirehe) whose infrastructure was decimated in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

Since then, PIH-IMB has developed impactful, innovative, scalable healthcare delivery models, several of which have been scaled by the government to serve the entire country’s population. Through close partnership with the Ministry of Health, the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), and District authorities, PIH-IMB works nationally to advocate for evidence-based policies aimed at improving access to higher quality healthcare for all Rwandans.
