The dinner meeting was hosted by Professor Senait Fisseha, Vice President of Global Programs at the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, and brought together regional and continental health leaders to discuss sustainable health financing. Among the leaders present was AU Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
The discussions centered on the importance of strengthening national health systems through domestic financing and fostering mutually beneficial partnerships.
Leaders emphasized the need for sustainable healthcare investments to ensure long-term improvements in service delivery and public health outcomes across the continent.
As part of the engagements, participants attended the official launch of Rwanda's Health Intelligence Center, an advanced facility designed to enhance healthcare management using artificial intelligence.
The center gathers real-time health data from communities and medical facilities nationwide, enabling better resource allocation and improving national health system efficiency.
The hub was launched on April 3, 2025, on the sidelines of the Global AI Summit on Africa by Rwanda's Minister of Health, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, alongside Minister of State Dr. Yvan Butera.
