Equivalence between category of $R$-modules and $S$-modules

Is it true that by equivalence between category of $R$-modules and $S$-modules we conclude that $R$ and $S$ are isomorphic?($R$ and $S$ are unital rings.)

If $A$ is any ring, then $A$ and $M_n(A)$ have equivalent categories of modules, and usually $A$ and $M_n(A)$ are not isomorphic.

This is the simplest example of a Morita equivalence.
