In 2026, following a May 2025 assessment, Rwanda’s National Tuberculosis (TB) Reference Laboratory in Kigali was designated a @WHO Supranational Reference Laboratory (SRL), making it #Africa's 5th fully operational SRL and the 33rd globally. This recognition strengthens Rwanda’s role in advancing high-quality TB diagnosis and improving the region’s response to the disease. As part of the WHO SRL network, #Rwanda will expand its technical support to countries across the region, building on its work with #Comoros and #Madagascar. The designation also opens doors to stronger scientific collaboration, research, and access to new technologies, helping build laboratory capacity and improve #TB diagnosis and care across Africa.

At #UNGA81 in New York, Dr Wessam Mankoula, Africa CDC Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response, joined global health leaders for Prepared for What’s Next: How Country Investments are Powering Global Health Resilience, hosted by the Pandemic Fund and the Governments of Armenia and Rwanda, with Foreign Policy as official media partner. In conversation with Andrew Sollinger, CEO and Publisher of Foreign Policy, Dr Mankoula drew on lessons from COVID-19, mpox and the ongoing Ebola response to highlight what preparedness requires: stronger national capacity, effective regional coordination and financing that reaches the front line quickly. Countries need strong surveillance, laboratories, community health workers and cross-border systems that can detect and contain threats early. During emergencies, coordination must also be built around one team, one plan, one budget and one accountability framework. “Our job is to become jobless. Success is when countries have the capacity to manage emergencies themselves.”
— Dr Wessam Mankoula, Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response, Africa CDC Strong national systems, backed by regional coordination and global solidarity, are the foundation of lasting health security. #AfricaCDC #UNGA81 #HealthSecurity #PandemicPreparedness #EbolaResponse ———— À New York, en marge de la #UNGA81, le Dr Wessam Mankoula, Directeur de la préparation et de la riposte aux urgences à Africa CDC, a participé à la rencontre Prepared for What’s Next: How Country Investments are Powering Global Health Resilience, organisée par le Pandemic Fund et les gouvernements de l’Arménie et du Rwanda, avec Foreign Policy comme partenaire média officiel. Lors d’un échange avec Andrew Sollinger, CEO et Publisher de Foreign Policy, le Dr Mankoula s’est appuyé sur les enseignements de la COVID-19, du mpox et de la riposte actuelle à Ebola pour mettre en avant les priorités : renforcer les capacités nationales, consolider la coordination régionale et permettre aux financements d’atteindre rapidement le terrain. Les pays ont besoin de systèmes solides de surveillance, de laboratoires, d’agents de santé communautaires et de capacités transfrontalières capables de détecter et contenir les menaces rapidement. En situation d’urgence, la coordination doit également reposer sur une seule équipe, un seul plan, un seul budget et un seul cadre de redevabilité. « Notre objectif doit être de ne plus être indispensables. Le succès, c’est lorsque les pays disposent des capacités nécessaires pour gérer eux-mêmes les urgences sanitaires. »
— Dr Wessam Mankoula, Directeur de la préparation et de la riposte aux urgences, Africa CDC Des systèmes nationaux solides, soutenus par une coordination régionale efficace et une solidarité mondiale, sont au cœur d’une sécurité sanitaire durable.

At #UNGA81, leaders gathered for “Addressing the Global Inequality Crisis: A High-Level Event on an International Panel on Inequality”, to discuss the proposal for an International Panel on Inequality (IPI). For UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima, the conversation builds on years of work connecting inequality with health and pandemics. She convened the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics, established by UNAIDS in 2023, and is a Founding Committee member of the proposed IPI. Summing up the discussion, Ms Byanyima said she left the meeting with “a strong sense of hope.” Participants highlighted how inequality is shaped not only by national policies, but also by international systems — including debt, taxation and global economic governance — as well as historical inequalities. A recurring message was the need for better science, data and evidence to understand inequality, track its drivers and consequences, and support policymakers. The event brought together support from countries and organizations across regions for an IPI that could organize, synthesize and assess evidence on inequality and help inform policy. As @Winnie_Byanyima concluded: “Inequalities undermine human dignity, take away the right to health, the right to education, the right to social progress.” The proposed IPI would build on this evidence to support action towards the promise of the UN Charter and the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind.

Turning Sports and Entertainment into Action Against NTDs ⚽ With support from @TheENDFund and in close collaboration with @BugeseraDistr and @RuhangoDistrict , @RwandaNGOForum is empowering @MalariaNTDcorps to conduct community mobilization across both districts to prevent Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), specifically Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) and Schistosomiasis, while promoting protective behaviours and good Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) practices. Through sports and entertainment activities, including football matches that bring communities together, key prevention messages are reaching people in more engaging and memorable ways: ✅Washing hands with soap, ✅Wearing shoes, ✅Avoiding contact with marshland water, ✅ Ending open defecation, ✅Using latrines properly, ✅Seeking treatment early when symptoms occur. Rolling out across all sectors of Bugesera and Ruhango districts, each community reached represents another step towards interrupting transmission. These campaigns advance Rwanda’s commitment to bring prevalence below 2% in focus areas by 2027, a goal anchored in the National NTD Strategic Plan 2026-2030, and our shared promise under the Kigali Declaration on NTDs and the @WHO NTD Roadmap. Together, we can turn awareness into action and communities into champions for a healthier, NTD free Rwanda. #BeatNTDs #EndNTDs
