Mukindo Medical Center Expansion

The current medical center located in the remote village of Mukindo treats approximately 2,000 patients a month. The center provided limited but critical emergency care and testing and life-saving treatment for illnesses such as Malaria. The medical center is housed in an old building originally donated by the government. This building has suffered water damage throughout the years and is currently in such poor condition it is not financially feasible to rebuild. Since the demand for proper medical treatment in the area is so high the decision was made to construct a new center with expanded capabilities.

The New Medical Center

The property adjacent to the current medical center was purchased and will be the home for the new medical center. The construction plans are already approved by the government, and construction will begin as soon as funding is secured. The new center will expand the number of patients that can be seen per week and also provide expanded care such as labor and delivery. Physical security of medicine and equipment will also be improved as well as stable computer networking to the Butare medical center. This new center will greatly expand medical care and treatment in the area and will have a life long positive impact on the people of Mukindo.
