In late 2008, arrangements to rebuild the Burera District’s health system were incubated and construction began on a new 150-bed district hospital in Butaro.

The vision for the new Butaro hospital was ambitious and multifold: to bring a well-designed and innovative new hospital to serve the people of Burera District, a region that had long lacked access to high quality health care.

The plans for infection control, expanded existing and new services, training programs, and modern equipment and technology have also made the delivery of the highest quality of care possible for the population of Burera, and indeed beyond the district’s boundaries.
