Welcome by the Director

The Government of Rwanda, with a loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) has mandate to develop an East African Regional Centre of Excellence in Biomedical Engineering and eHealth (CEBE), to be implemented by the University of Rwanda. CEBE is a part of AfDB’s first Human Capacity Development strategy (2012-2016) that aims to build human capital for inclusive growth in Africa. The overarching vision of the CEBE is “to build a critical mass of a qualified and transferable workforce to sustainably boost the Biomedical sector with competent technical support skills, innovation and R&D capabilities, while putting in place a conducive environment for the development of a vibrant and dynamic service industry.”
