40 health centers in Rwanda have been provided with Starlink internet 

40 health centers around the country have been connected to high-speed internet using Starlink satellites. It is an activity achieved by the Government of Rwanda through the Ministry of Health and Technology and Innovation, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Institute, TBI.

The launch of this satellite internet service is one of Rwanda's ongoing efforts to simplify and improve access to internet services for the public.

Rwanda has also taken an important step in bringing the internet to the people, where a 'fiber optic' network with a length of 15,785 kilometers has been delivered to urban areas in all 30 regions. Another thing is that 97% of people have access to 4G internet.

However, due to the nature of Rwanda, it is difficult to get 'fiber optic' internet, which is why satellite internet is used, especially in remote rural areas.


In this context, the Tony Blair Institute, TBI, is cooperating with Rwanda in the implementation of the Starlink internet delivery program in health centers in the country, through a project called 'Tomorrow Partnership'.

The director of the Tony Blair Institute in Rwanda, Stella Mugabo, pointed out that in these times high-speed internet is the key to providing quality health services.

He said, "We are happy to cooperate with the Government of Rwanda in determining the way forward."

For 16 years, the Tony Blair Institute has been working closely with the Government of Rwanda in various projects and activities focusing on the Vision 2050 plan.
