In 2017, Oshen Healthcare reached an agreement with the Rwandan government to take over the management of King Faisal hospital.<\/p>\n
The agreement was a Public-Private Partnership to implement an innovative programme guided to improve the healthcare assistance of the Rwandan population and to turn King Faisal Hospital into an international reference healthcare institution.<\/p>\n
IGIHE has learned that Dr. Edgar Kalimba, Director, Maternal, Child and women health at Oshen-KFH was on 26th April 2019 appointed the Acting CEO of KFH.<\/p>\n
When Oshen Healthcare Rwanda Limited, a division of Oshen Healthcare from Angola took over the hospital, it changed the management replacing the then CEO Dr. Emile Rwamasirabo with Dr. Joaquin Bielsa.<\/p>\n
According to credible sources, the agreements didn’t bear fruits as expected which pushed the government of Rwanda to cancel the contract.<\/p>\n
Under the signed agreements, Oshen Health Care had to expand KFH, and invest 21 million Euros within the first five years and promote the hospital to an international level. <\/p>\n
The partnership was also expected to reduce expenses spent on specialists doctors and health tourism services from abroad.<\/p>\n
