Rwanda emerged in 1994 from a genocide that took its toll on every aspect of development, predominantly in the health sector. Subsequently, however, the country's progress has been inspiring. Thus, Rwanda's story of progress is that of a country that has successfully improved its health indicators at a very speedy pace and transformed its health system into an example of best practices. For countries marred by war and blood shedding, Rwanda's reconstruction should endorse optimism that they, too, can re-establish their countries and recuperate from crises in the coming decades. Rwanda's focus on evidence-based policy, centralized planning, robust health systems, community insurance and equitable access to care should be heeded both by nations looking to restore their health system and those with sturdy systems already in place, Rwanda offers generalizable lessons to delivering care. This paper entails the study of Rwanda's health system reflecting the best practices in healthcare delivery, health sector reforms and the alleviation of poverty in this country, with encouraging results that can serve as an example for other countries.
