Partners In Health has also teamed up with the Rwandan Ministry of Health, the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation and the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s center to open the Cancer Center of Excellence in Butaro, Rwanda–a part of the country that until four years ago didn’t have a basic hospital for a population of over 320,000. The new center goes beyond basics to supply world-class care, not just for local Rwandans but for the entire region.
