Rwandan patients will benefit from specialised surgical operations conducted by a group of visting Egyptian medical experts expected in the country soon.
The Egyptian team is targeting 150 surgical operations during their one week stay in Rwanda under the auspices of Rwanda and Egyptian ministries of Health.
Recently a group of Indian physicians were in the country where they performed successful specialised surgical operations on Rwandan patients.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Health of Rwanda, the move is part of a cost effective way that the Ministry has adopted in treating complicated cases, where it has less expertise and which would normally have been referred abroad.
The Egyptian physicians include 6 distinguished surgeons in the field of laparoscopic, pediatric, maxillofacial and plastic, gynecology and obstetrics surgery.
The team will conduct surgery operations at Kigali University Central Teaching Hospital CHUK and in Muhima hospitals.
The Egypt-Rwanda health cooperation was renewed during the visit of the Egypt’s Foreign Minister to Rwanda on January 2012.
During these operations, the Egyptian Surgeons will work hand-in-hand with their Rwandan counterparts to share experiences and learn from one another.
The Ministry of Health has prepared all logistical support and basic necessities for the success of the visiting medical team.
