The renown Hospital of Rutongo Hospital is going to be replaced by a new and innovated one scheduled to be built in Remera Mbogo in the very district.
Patients who searched medicare care from that hospital were coming from some parts of Kigali city like Kabuye and Gatsata sector and from the neighborhoods, which proves how important this hospital is.
The hospital was built in the 1930s as one the local inhabitants Mulinda Celestin told Umuseke.rw.
The old man affirms that the hospital was built by White people who, at the epoch, conducted the mining activities in a company called SOMUKI.
Being such an old hospital does not prevent it from having strong and beautiful buildings, veteran medical doctors and with many and functional infrastructures.
Many people who were used to receiving the medical care at the hospital say that it will take them time and energy to reach the Remera Mbogo Hospital which located in a relatively far distance.
The fact that this region of Remera Mbogo is the centre of Rulindo district and that it is more developed than Rutongo stimulates people’s willingness to attend it despite the journey it requires.
The project is upon the decision of the Ministry of health in collaboration with the District of Rulindo and the new hospital is meant to collaborate with existing health centers in the District .
