Description

Rwanda’s fourth health sector strategic plan (HSSP4) is meant to provide the health sector
with a Strategic Plan that will highlight its commitments and priorities for the coming 6
years. It will be fully integrated in the overall economic development plan of the
Government. HSSP4 will fulfil the country’s commitment expressed in the national
constitution, National Strategy for Transformation (NST) and the aspirations of the Health
Sector Policy 2015. The strategies herein adhere to the Universal Health Coverage (UHC)
principles towards realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). HSSP4
therefore lays a foundation for Vision 2050 (“The Rwanda We Want”), which will transform
Rwanda into a high-income country by 2050. HSSP4 anticipates the epidemiological
transition of the country, the increase in population and life expectancy and the expected
increase of the health needs of the elderly, notably in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
HSSP4 also anticipates a decrease in external financial inflows, hence it is imperative to build
secure / resilient health systems.
