Rwanda has made significant progress in improving maternal, new-born, child, and adolescent health, as well as family planning, reproductive health services, and malaria prevention and treatment. These achievements have been made possible through investments from the Ministry of Health and its partners.

However, statistics from the Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey 2019-2020 show stagnations in key maternal, new-born, child, and adolescent health.

According to Dr Stephen Mutwiwa, the chief party of 'USAID Tubeho', the programme started in August 2023 and is already operating in 20 out of 30 districts that include Gasabo, Nyaruguru, Rubavu, Nyagatare, Ngororero and others. 'USAID Tubeho' also strives to increase the use of evidence and adaptive learning in maternal, new-born, child, and adolescent health, family planning, reproductive health, and malaria programming.

USAID Tubeho avails information about family planning and promotes health and access to services that young people need. However, the 4x4 Reform approved by the government in July 2023 will improve the situation. It aims to quadruple the number of healthcare workers in the country within the next four years to meet the World Health Organization recommendation of at least four healthcare professionals per 1,000 population density.
