As part of the &#8220;Strengthening Pandemic Prevention &amp; Response Through One Health Approach in Rwanda&#8221; project, the effort reached 13 high-risk districts, enhancing Event-Based Surveillance capabilities through hands-on instruction for over 2,100 frontline workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivered in two phases, the program trained hospital staff and cascaded knowledge to health center workers, covering mobile reporting, rapid response coordination, and community-level alert systems. The initiative supports Rwanda\u2019s One Health framework and aligns with the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), ensuring outbreaks are detected and managed swiftly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With surveillance systems now fully operational in targeted districts, Rwanda is taking proactive steps to safeguard public health against MVD and other emerging threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kigali, Rwanda \u2014 July 25, 2025 \u2014 The Rwanda Biomedical&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1260,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-updates",""],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
