In this episode of World Health Voices on OncoDaily TV, Dr. Gevorg Tamamyan sits down with Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, The Minister of Health of Rwanda, to talk about Rwanda’s ambitious Mission 2027 – a national effort to accelerate cervical cancer elimination and save lives through prevention, HPV vaccination, screening, early diagnosis, and treatment.
The conversation examines how Rwanda turned an ambitious goal into a measurable national commitment, why the country believes it can move faster than the WHO ’s 2030 targets, and how community engagement, health-system integration, partnerships, and data-driven decision-making are helping drive progress.
The discussion also explores Rwanda’s innovative Health Intelligence Center, the use of real-time health data and artificial intelligence, and how technology can connect specialists with healthcare workers in rural areas. The episode highlights a broader vision of using data, technology, and ambitious public-health goals to tackle cancer and other major health challenges.
