Inshuti
A safe place to ask, learn, and get support.
Inshuti helps young people in Rwanda find trusted health information, understand their options, and connect with an approved nurse, midwife, psychologist, doctor, or community health worker.
Private to start. A person steps in when you ask for one.
How Inshuti helps
From a question to the right kind of support.
- 01
Ask
Have a question or a worry? Talk privately and get information drawn from reviewed health resources.
- 02
Understand
Read clear explanations on menstrual health, pregnancy, relationships, family planning, HIV and STIs, and mental health.
- 03
Connect
When you want a person, Inshuti can match you with an approved professional based on the topic and how urgent it is.
- 04
Continue
Message that professional in private, share a file or voice note, or book a time to follow up.
Your support network
Technology helps you start. People provide care.
Inshuti does not replace a health worker. The assistant helps you understand a question and find the right next step. Approved professionals handle the human conversation.

Safety and privacy
Your privacy is explained honestly.
You can start without an account. That conversation is stored against a random session on this browser, not against your name. If you sign in and turn anonymous mode off, later conversations can be linked to your account so a professional can reply to you.
Secure messages
Professional conversations are encrypted on the server and protected while they travel.
Limited staff access
Administrators can see case status and names. They cannot read the consultation messages.
Approved professionals
Only an approved health worker can be assigned a case.
Crisis support
Urgent language can show emergency contacts and can be flagged so someone can check that help was offered.
Reviewed information
Answers can cite articles a reviewer has marked as ready.
Aggregate reporting
Government users see totals for their area. Very small counts are hidden so a person cannot be picked out.
If you are in danger, do not wait for a reply.
Use the crisis contacts in the app, call local emergency services, or go to the nearest health facility. Inshuti is general information and private follow-up. It is not an emergency service and it does not diagnose or prescribe.
