Rwanda Pharmaceutical Students’ Association is a youth-led organization, that champions efforts to help young people, and communities make informed and responsible decisions on their health as well as social and economic standards of living. As young professionals, we are on a mission to empower our members into a responsible and efficient pharmaceutical society that reflects its role in a multi-disciplinary collaboration aimed at providing top-notch healthcare through advocacy, information sharing and transformative education whilst fostering a culture of human rights. We address issues affecting the responsibility of pharmacists within the healthcare system thus professional development and promoting public health. It is linked to other Pharmaceutical Students' Associations worldwide through the International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation (IPSF).
