Consultant Opportunities

Rwanda Ministry of Health (MoH) and Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC), through Malaria and Other Parasitic Diseases Division (MOPDD), recognize that sustaining malaria control gains and advancing toward malaria elimination require strengthened implementation of Integrated Vector Management (IVM).
