"
Donors have focused on providing drugs and equipment, but a lot of small managerial interventions have the ability to transform health providers into more efficient operators, which increases their ability to serve their communities," said Josh Ruxin, director of the Access Project, a health programme focused on improving health systems management developed by Columbia University in the United States.
The project, which is active in several African countries, started its work in Rwanda in 2003, providing support to the government in implementing programmes financed by the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria."
