Overview
The Fourth Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP4) is a guiding document that outlines the national strategic directions of Rwanda to improve the health standards of Rwandans for the coming seven years, July 2018-June 2024.
The HSSP4 builds on lessons learned and progress made from the implementation of Rwanda Health Sector Strategic Plan 2013-2018 (HSSPIII) and is fully aligned with Vision 2050, the National Strategy for Transformation 2018-2019 as well as the Health Sector Policy 2015. It adheres to the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) principles towards the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The HSSP4 reflects a comprehensive analysis of the health sector progress and is developed through a consultative process involving all stakeholders.
