Good politics and governance have everything to do with health – President Paul Kagame.

During the Rwanda’s Minister of Health’s speech; Doctor Diane Gashumba stated that Rwanda fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic has always been grounded in the principle that people affected should and must be the centre of the push. And that in collaboration with Rwandan partners, the country has been able to put the Rwandan people at the centre of each intervention that is being made in the health sector.

And he concluded by saying that ‘the results Rwanda has achieved would not have been possible without President Paul Kagame’s vision and leadership, not only for HIV but for Health For All. The President also opined that AIDS is an epidemic without borders. Much of the success in the campaign to halt the spread of the virus can be credited to global cooperation. It is therefore vital to continue raising the level of support to initiatives such as The Global Fund Gavi and PEPFAR which have made such significant contributions. Governments in Africa must prioritize domestic financing for healthcare.

In her closing remarks, Dr Diane Gashumba; the health minister of Rwanda said that during the beginning of the conference, three main pillars were identified: innovation, community and political leadership. She stated that Africa must continue to explore the interconnections between HIV/AIDS with broader health and development agenda. If we do not see health as an investment, we will never achieve sustainable growth, development, advances in research, or an end to global disease burdens.
