Building A National Simulation Program in Rwanda Through The Use of Partnerships
Through the use of external partnerships, Rwanda has successfully built a sustainable national simulation program. We believe this may be a successful model which could be used to build simulation programs in other low-resource settings.
Building a simulation program in a low-resource environment can be challenging. With the assistance of international partners, Rwanda has successfully built a sustainable national simulation program. We believe this may be a successful model for other low-resource countries trying to build simulation programs for hospitals or universities.

Description
2003-2010: Kigali Health Instutite and and Vlamaase Vereniging voor
Ontwikkelingshulp en Technische Bijstand (VVOB-Belgium):
• Simulation education plan formulated•Budget developed and approved•Governance model built•Rooms for skills labs and offices outfitted• Equipment purchased• Simulation staff trained• Simulation integrated into nursing
curriculum• Skills lab opened at Kigali Health Institute
2004•Recruitment and training of standardized
patients•Program operated 2010-12
independently by Kigali Health Institute
International simulation program partnerships, if set up correctly, can assist in building a sustainable simulation program in low-resource settings. Our program is an example of a successful program built on partnerships, but able to be sustained independently when partnerships end.
2012-present: University of Rwanda and Human Resources for Health Program
(HRH)• Extension of KHI skills lab activities to
allied health and nursing schools country-wide• Training of faculty in use of simulation•Assistance in set-up of skills labs outside
Kigali•Assistance with computerized booking
and inventory•Assistance in set-up of CPR training• Further training of simulation staff•Purchase of new equipment
2010-2012: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK)
Hospital and the Canadian Anesthesiologists Society International Education
Foundation:• Skills lab (1 room) outfitted for
purpose at CHUK for use of medical students, residents, practicing physicians• Equipment purchased• Skills lab staffed with one full time
person and opened 2010•Program now operated
independently by CHUK
