The Rwanda Village Concept Project(RVCP) donated various forms of medical equipment to the Huye Distrct Health Centre. The event took place this Wednesday in Huye district where the health center is located in a ceremony led by Rwanda Village Concept Project managers and some of its partners.

The donated equipment  included stethoscopes, sterile gloves, baby blankets, needles, surgical caps, syringes, surgical masks as well as  two solar panels  worth over Rwf. 2 Million.

The donation is a follow up to an earlier one whereby the RVCP had installed electricity as well as installed water in the health centre.

"This gesture is meant to improve the services offered by National University of Rwanda to Rwandan communities  in accordance with its motto,” said Mr. Mwitende Jean Claude, the chairman of RVCP at National University of Rwanda. 

In his speech Mr. Hartvig  Webber-Havsen from Denmark one of partners who attended the ceremony, congratulated the way RVCP members use the donation they receive  from their donors.

Nurse Solange Uwanyirigira, officer in charge of the health center promised that the centre management will institute best practice to ensure optimum use of the facilities donated.

She said that the donations will go a long way in  reducing considerably the challenges they face namely lack of equipment.
