The project expected to be completed in 4years is valued at Frw12Billion to be funded by BTC is part of a string of modern health facilities planned for Remera, Gatenga, Mageragere and Kanyinya in Kigali.<\/p>\n
The new facilities will be added to the existing wards to increase the capacity of the hospital to provide quality maternal and child care services in the hospital.<\/p>\n
The new ward at Muhima Hospital was commissioned September 6 by the Vice Mayor in charge of social affairs in Nyarugenge District, Pierre Kalisa, together with the director in charge of health and environment at City of Kigali, Blaise Uhagaze.<\/p>\n
He noted that there was a gap in health service delivery that prompted the Ministry of Health to ask for aid from development partners to address the challenge.<\/p>\n
The clinical director at the hospital, Placide Ntigurirwa said, \u201cWe receive 600-700 mothers a month but we didn\u2019t have enough facilities to accommodate all of them. With this new maternity ward being commissioned, we will be able to attend to even more expectant mothers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The maternity wing will be a two-storey building, with the ground floor used for cervical cancer screening, cancer registration, family planning, sterilising hospital equipment and some offices, while the upper floor will host labour rooms.<\/p>\n
