Dr. Agnes Binagwaho is a pediatrician, former Minister of Health of Rwanda, Senior Lecturer at Harvard University, Advisor to the Director-General of the WHO, and co-founder of the University of Global Health Equity.


She joins us today to talk about the role of technology in the remarkable transformation of Rwanda’s health system post-genocide.


What are the failed promises of health technology? How has data been a North Star to her work? And what does it take to show the world that Rwanda today stands for truth?

  • (02m59s) - When health data is held hostage

  • (04m21s) - HIV is a curse that ushered in the era of electronic medical records

  • (10m06s) - How epidemiological data supports effective health systems governance

  • (16m10s) - Using Twitter to take a stand

  • (20m54s) - Whose data do you trust?
