In Burundi, Friday, a private community hospital was formally opened by the First Vice-President of Burundi, Terence Sinunguruza in the municipality of Kayogoro in Makamba province (south).
Sinunguruza welcomed the initiative which he said will contribute remarkably to the improvement of health of the population of the town and the surrounding Kayogoro.
The Kayogoro hospital was built with funds from membership of the association -Garukirubutunzi Kayogoro created in 2004. This association has 46 members.
Of the 12 units planned, six have already been constructed.
The facility will offer various services including gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, radiography, ultrasound, ophthalmology, dentistry, medical laboratory and hospital pharmacy.
All construction is estimated to cost a sum amounting to over FBu 2 Billion.
One of the initiators of the project, Dr. Astère Ndayizeye indicates that Kayogoro Community Hospital will be operational by early August.
