Marie Louise Uwimana, the Gasabo District's Vice Mayor in charge of Social Affairs, told The New Times that a seminar on fighting malnutrition will jointly be organised by the district, Kibagabaga Hospital and IntraHealth International. 

"Fighting malnutrition in the entire district is among our priorities for this year, which is why we want to train health counsellors on how best they can teach residents to avoid diseases like Kwashiorkor," Uwimana said.

Last week, the HRH Global Resource Center launched its new eLearning program through an online event hosted from Chapel Hill, NC, and highlighted the program’s first course, iHRIS Administrator: Level 1. The eLearning program is part of IntraHealth International’s strategy to promote innovative approaches to making knowledge about human resources for health more widely available through its global project, CapacityPlus and other projects.

Last month, the United Nations Security Council adopted a new resolution, Resolution 1998, which extends monitoring oversight to recurrent attacks on schools and hospitals and expands the monitoring and reporting mechanism that protects children in armed conflict. Prior to the adoption of the resolution, IntraHealth International and 13 other organizations sent a letter to 15 members of the Security Council urging the adoption of the new resolution.
