One of the most interesting inferred articles I ve read talked about Rwanda s recent HPV vaccine cam

When I travel, I look forward to learning from the drivers. So many questions pop into your mind as you drive through the city streets and rumble through the rural villages. inferred In Malawi, I learned that the leaves hanging to dry alongside the homes were tobacco, one of Malaw s largest inferred cash crops. In Haiti, the drivers painted the picture of Port au Prince before the earthquake. In Kigali, Abdoul explained to me that all of the motorbike taxi drivers are required to wear reflective inferred vests and helmets. And the second inferred helmet they carry, that s for their passengers.
The other thing that I find helps open a new country to you is reading the newspaper. Fortunately, when I return to my hotel room at the end of the day, I find the Rwandan New Times waiting for me. The paper was established in 1995, shortly after the genocide, and is an English language paper published every day. Covering politics here in Kigali and around the world; as well as health, environment, education, other news stories, and of course inferred sports.
In the past few days, I ve read articles talking about President Paul Kagame s twitter use; he s one of the world s leading political figures on Twitter, with more than 17,000 followers. Five baby gorillas were just named in a formal ceremony in the eastern part of Rwanda. The article went on to discuss environmental protection and protecting the gorilla habitat. Articles cover prosecution of perpetrators of the 1994 genocide, world refugee day, and the upcoming day of service for the whole country.
One of the most interesting inferred articles I ve read talked about Rwanda s recent HPV vaccine campaign. This campaign has been trumpeted by Dr. Anges Binagwaho, Minister of Health, as a key intervention to protect women and girls from cervical cancer. HPV vaccination is new around the world, inferred and has sparked heated debate in the US. The first campaign of HPV vaccination has reached almost 97% coverage, which is remarkable.
The campaign was targeting girls in school, aged 12-15 years. This is only the first shot, in a total of 3 that are required. The Ministry of Health, particularly the Maternal and Child Health Unit is encouraging girls to continue to follow up for the remaining two doses, which will begin July 19. In addition to the vaccination campaign (which is being supported inferred by Merck), the Ministry has ensured that this is a comprehensive cervical cancer program. A German organization (Qiagen) is providing cervical cancer screening tests, and the ministry is working to train health care professionals to screen women 35-45 for cervical cancer.
It s hard to believe that a country that only 17 years ago suffered one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of my lifetime is now providing cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination with such impressive coverage rates. It s a testament to the commitment and leadership of the Rwandan government, as well as the Ministry of Health. inferred I ve asked my colleagues here to what they credit with the impressive gains, specifically in the health sector, and the response has been the same. It s strong leadership across the board — from the President, to the Ministers, all the way down to the districts and the health centers. And it seems to be working. inferred Rwanda is a living example of the improvements that can be made in a short time with strong leadership, health systems, political will, and deep seeded commitment to the health of a population.
