What does good health for mothers really look like?

It is more than surviving childbirth. It is about thriving before, during, and after pregnancy, with access to quality care, timely screening, and the support needed to stay healthy and strong.

For Zainabu, one antenatal visit changed everything. An ultrasound scan revealed a rare but life-threatening problem that could have gone undetected until it was too late.

Because the service was available at her local health center, and because a skilled midwife acted quickly, she was referred in time for emergency care. Today, she is alive to share her story.

Zainabu’s experience reminds us that access to quality maternal health services is not optional. It is lifesaving.

Investing in lifesaving skills for mothers and newborns.

Health Builders is currently conducting a Master Trainer program on Helping Mothers Survive (HMS) and Helping Babies Survive (HBS).

A total of 22 maternity in-charges from 17 health facilities, including Rwamagana Level-Two Teaching Hospital, are participating in this Training of Trainers, designed to strengthen their ability to respond to life-threatening maternal and newborn complications.

Unlike traditional classroom learning, the program focuses on hands-on simulations and emergency drills with anatomical models. Through repeated practice, participants build real clinical confidence and rapid-response skills needed during real-life obstetric and neonatal emergencies.

By training healthcare providers to become mentors and trainers themselves, this program creates a lasting chain of impact, strengthening care across health centers and hospitals.

Every skill practiced today could mean a life saved tomorrow.

Health System Strengthening

• Blood pressure machines and glucometers distributed to 469 villages and 16 health centers
• 8 health centers equipped with biochemistry analyzers

Digitization and Innovation

The visit provided an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned and discuss sustainability and scale-up across Rwanda.

What does dignity in health care look like?

At Mwulire Health Center, it means mothers accessing ultrasound services close to home. It means patients no longer wait days for referrals. It means health workers equipped to serve their communities with compassion.

On World Day of the Sick, we reflect on how strong primary health care systems restore dignity and bring quality care closer to rural families.
