Public Health Campaigns
Our Public Health Campaigns are at the core of RPSA's mission to serve communities. We organize and lead health education programs, free medical screenings, drug awareness campaigns, and community outreach initiatives across Rwanda. These campaigns empower citizens with knowledge about medication safety, disease prevention, antimicrobial resistance, and healthy living — while giving pharmacy students real-world public health experience.
Why It Matters
Rwanda faces unique public health challenges including antimicrobial resistance, counterfeit medications, and limited health literacy in rural communities. RPSA's public health campaigns address these challenges head-on by deploying trained pharmacy students into communities to educate, screen, and advocate. This creates a dual impact: communities receive vital health information, and students develop the public health competencies essential for 21st-century pharmacists.
“Volunteering in RPSA's AMR awareness campaign showed me the real-world impact pharmacists can have. Educating communities about antibiotic misuse was both humbling and empowering.”
