They are an addition to existing teaching hospitals namely; Kigali University Teaching Hospital (CHUK), Butare University Teaching Hospital (CHUB), Ndera and Kanombe hospitals.  <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Patrick Ndimubanzi, the Executive Secretary of Rwanda Human Resources for Health (HRH) has explained that the development aligns with the government&#8217;s 10-year plan to increase doctors, nurses, midwives and specialists.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to increase the number of healthcare workers and services offered in Rwanda,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ndimubanzi has explained that the country targets to hit the number of 6513 healthcare workers who will graduate in ten years between 2020 and 2030.  <\/p>\n<p>Among others, Dr. Ndimubanzi disclosed that the country seeks to increase the number of students enrolled in general nursing every year from 80 or 100 to 200. <\/p>\n<p>As he said, an assessment in terms of equipment, personnel and quality of services is conducted before giving such facilities the status of teaching hospitals.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirstly, we consider the number of workers. If we want to give particular facilities the status of teaching hospitals, we make placements of a large number of specialists. Secondly, we provide equipment to offer new services. Thirdly, we upgrade buildings where necessary,\u201d he noted.   <\/p>\n<p>For instance, new buildings are being erected at Kabgayi Hospital. These include maternity wards with 120 beds and rooms for surgery. Such upgrades enable teaching hospitals to offer improved services.    <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-43755 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/png\/screen_shot_2022-08-19_at_12.49_26-690d3.png\" alt=\"Dr. Patrick Ndimubanzi, the Executive Secretary of Rwanda Human Resources for Health has explained that the development aligns with the governments\u2019 10-year plan to increase doctors, nurses, midwives and specialists.  \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Nine health facilities including six district hospitals have been designated as teaching hospitals in Rwanda with a view to increase the number of nurses, midwives and specialists in the health sector.} <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-46424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46424"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=46424"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=46424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
