Another generous heart surgery coming

KIGALI - Heart patients who missed out in last year’s charitable surgeries at Kigali’s King Faisal Hospital may have cause to smile after officials announced a similar operation will be conducted come April, this year. The surgical treatment to be conducted by experts from the US was announced on Tuesday by the head of Rwanda Heart Foundation (RHF), Dr Joseph Mucumbitsi. He said that 15 short-listed adult patients are to benefit from the exercise that follows one involving 28 children and four adults conducted in October-November last year by a team of surgeons from Australia and Belgium.
