GATSIBO - Plan International Rwanda has embarked on a project to construct a new hospital in Gatsibo district, Eastern Province, an official has disclosed.

Speaking to The New Times on Monday, the deputy Mayor, Christine Mutyemariya, said once completed, the new health facility will boost health delivery standards in the district.

"We shall unveil the hospital soon. It is being built in Kabarore sector and has the capacity to accommodate a larger number of patients than what is readily available,” she said.
