UGHE TURNS 10

UGHE was founded on a simple but powerful belief that health equity is possible and necessary. The University is defined by our commitment to educating leaders who serve with humility, seek understanding, think critically, and act with purpose. Over the last decade, UGHE has become a place where learning is grounded in community, where compassion guides our work, and where students are equipped to challenge injustices in health systems. This commitment to equity lies at the core of who we are.
As we mark UGHE’s 10th anniversary, we celebrate the remarkable people and partnerships that give life to this institution. And so, we acknowledge the vision that started this journey, the hard work that has sustained it, and the achievements that now define the next part of our journey.

The anniversary is a reminder of our ongoing responsibility and determination to advance health equity. We move forward with confidence rooted in the belief that we are doing the right things and in the knowledge that many incredible people journey with us; they support us, test us, and keep us on course.

Our second decade is set to be as exciting as the first. We commit to expanding student numbers and our campus, and we invite you to join us as we find new ways to serve the people of Rwanda, the region and the continent.”
