Its recognition by the American Legacy Book Awards reflects the value of frameworks that broaden how care is understood and practiced across cultures and health systems.

Health System Administration & Palliative Care: Where Structure Meets Care

Webmaster — 2026-03-27T10:30:00Z

In Ruli District Hospital, the involvement of administration is creating the conditions for care to be delivered more consistently.

With leadership engaged, palliative care is finding its place within the daily flow of the health system, not as an added task, but as part of how care is organized and sustained.

In practice, this is shown through:
✨Clearer coordination of care across departments.
✨Support for teams to align with patient and family needs.
✨Palliative care included in routine planning and service delivery.
✨ Continuum of care that does not stop at one provider.

Multidisciplinary Team & Palliative Care: Caring for the Whole Person

Webmaster — 2026-03-25T10:27:00Z

A holistic approach to care takes a team. At Gatonde District Hospital, palliative care is being shaped through a multidisciplinary approach, where diverse professionals come together to care for patients and their families.

Here, care is understood across:
✨Physical needs: managing pain and symptoms
✨Emotional and psychological needs: responding to distress and fear
✨Social and cultural realities: recognizing family roles and context
✨Spiritual needs: acknowledging beliefs and dignity

When these dimensions come together, care becomes complete. This is how multidisciplinary teams help bring holistic palliative care that values the lived experience of patients and families.

When palliative care moves beyond the training room, care becomes part of everyday practice.

In Nemba District Hospital, peer-to-peer learning is opening space for healthcare professionals to look more closely at care, not only for patients, but for the families who walk with them.

Conversations are becoming more specific:
✨How to listen beyond patients' physical pain
✨How to support families during difficult decisions
✨How to work as a team
✨How to stay present, even when there is no cure

This is where change begins: not in protocols alone, but in conversations between peers. A quiet shift; but one that reaches every patient, every family, and every bedside.

From Fulbright at Harvard to Community Impact

⁉️What does hashtag freedom really mean?

At the U.S. Embassy Kigali's Freedom 250 Alumni Symposium, our Executive Director, Dr. Christian Ntizimira, a Fulbright alumnus and Harvard University graduate, delivered a keynote that reframed freedom not as an idea, but as a responsibility.

From his Fulbright journey to advancing Palliative Care across Africa, he reminded us: global learning must always return home, to serve communities, strengthen health systems, and protect dignity.

Freedom is the ability to care, and to build systems where compassion isn't optional.

“Exchange programs are not travel opportunities, they are responsibility multipliers”…. He concluded the keynote speech.

🥳Congratulations to all the outstanding alumni recognized for driving transformative change.

Thank you, U.S. Embassy Kigali, for convening leaders committed to innovation, impact, and service.

“Une classe. Une leçon d'humanité.”

Il n'est jamais trop tôt pour apprendre à reconnaître sa souffrance… et à choisir l'empathie. Merci à la classe de Mme Dominique Cellis et à l'école Polaris #Rwanda pour ce moment d'#humanité autour du Concept de Safari. 📘

Parler de la souffrance, c'est déjà prendre soin. Merci pour cet échange intergénérationnel qui élève notre compassion. Empathie FinDeVie

Les élèves m'ont offert une nouvelle lecture de mon propre livre. Comme quoi, l'humanité s'apprend à tout âge. Merci encore à l'éco'e Polaris & Mme Cellis et à Manzi de l'ins'itut français pour le partage. 📘✨

“One class. One lesson in humanity.”

It is never too early to learn how to recognize one's own suffering… and to choose empathy. Thank you to Ms. Dominique Cellis's class and to Polaris School Rwanda for this moment of humanity around "The Saf“ri Concept”. 📘

Speaking about suffering is already a form of care. Thank you for this intergenerational exchange that elevates our compassion. End of Life Empathy

The students offered me a new reading of my own book. A reminder that humanity can be learned at any age. Many thanks again to Polaris School, Ms. Cellis, and Manzi from the French Institute for sharing this moment. 📘✨

The University of British Columbia Meets ACREOL Global 🇨🇦🤝🇷🇼

Webmaster — 2026-03-18T09:00:00Z

When global perspectives meet local realities, learning goes both ways.

Perspectives from the University of British Columbia (UBC) met the realities of palliative care in Rwanda during a visit to the ACREOL Global office by Dr. Sarah Broder, Respirologist/GIM, Clinical Assistant Professor at UBC, and a Medical Director of Palliative Care from Canada who has been in Rwanda working with the clinical teaching units at University Teaching Hospital of Butare (CHUB).

Her experiences at CHUB and hearing about Dr. Christian Ntizimira's work in Palliative Care sparked a curiosity to connect firsthand. During the visit, she witnessed how palliative care in our context values culture, family, and Ubuntu philosophy in caring for patients and their loved ones.

If you're in Kigali and passionate about palliative care, drop by our office!
