Bio Usawa this week welcomed Dr. Yvan Butera, Rwanda’s Minister of State for Health, to its biomanufacturing facility in Kigali, where he was received by the company’s CEO and President, Dr. Menghis Bairu.

The visit included a tour of the facility and discussions on the project’s progress, strategic partnerships and opportunities for further collaboration in advancing Rwanda’s biotechnology manufacturing ecosystem.

The engagement comes at an important stage in Bio Usawa’s journey in Rwanda, reflecting the partnerships and strategic support that have helped advance the establishment of its manufacturing capabilities.

As Rwanda continues to strengthen its position in Africa’s health and innovation landscape, investments in local biotechnology and biomanufacturing capacity are an important part of building a more resilient, sustainable and self-reliant healthcare future.

Bio Usawa is committed to contributing to that future: bringing advanced biopharmaceutical manufacturing closer to the people and communities it is intended to serve.
