UCL LANCET LECTURE 2013: Dr Agnes Binagwaho, Minister of Health for the Republic of Rwanda, 'Charity does not rhyme with development'
Dr Binagwaho shares her country's experiences mobilising partnerships on the long road to universal health coverage, with a social entrepreneurship mind to do business. Since its 1994 genocide, Rwanda's life expectancy has increased from 27 to 60 years, and the country is now on track to achieve each of the health Millennium Development Goals. Dr. Binagwaho will engage attendees in dialogue about how open access research, "reverse innovation", and equitable global partnerships rooted in solidarity might reinvigorate the pursuit of health for all.
Dr. Binagwaho is the Minister of Health for the Republic of Rwanda.
