Can a breakthrough healthcare innovation in Rwanda work in the U.S.?
In rural Rwanda, the simple and time-tested idea of medical house
calls is not only improving the health of the community, but
stimulating its economy as well. NOW ON PBS travels to the
village of Rwinkwavu to meet the Rwandan doctors, nurses and
villagers who are teaming up with Boston-based Partners in Health
and the Rwandan government to deliver medicine and medical
counseling door-to-door. Would such an innovation work in America?
In the capital of Kigali, NOW's David Brancaccio sits down with
Rwandan president Paul Kagame to talk about international aid and
Kagame's ultimate vision for a healthy, financially-independent
Rwanda.
