Abstract
Globally there is a need for well-trained primary health care physicians at the district level.
Physicians who focus on ambulatory care will be in greater demand in addressing the global burden
of chronic disease and multi-morbidity, which are on the increase in Africa. Not surprisingly,
family medicine has grown stronger on the African continent in the past decades.1,2,3 In Rwanda,
education of health professionals has recently undergone several changes. Postgraduate
training in medical and surgical specialties has been further developed in a constructive and
inclusive way with support of American universities.
