The government of Rwanda through The Ministry of Health has inaugurated Telemedicine at Shyira District Hospital in Nyabihu District, Western Rwanda to facilitate the access of health professionals’ opinion during patient diagnosis and treatment. The telemedicine equipment donated under a great partnership between the Rotary clubs from Musanze, Burera and the Global Offsite care Shyira to high level health facilities in Rwanda and internationally to get a second opinion by specialists, supporting diagnosis and capacity building and reduce face to face interventions.

“Telemedicine enables us to help patients to get access to timely treatment through sharing their symptoms hence fastening the diagnosis,” says Theoneste  Rubanzabigwi, Director of Shyira District Hospital that is enjoying new and very well equipped buildings offered to the Nyabihu residents two weeks ago by President Paul Kagame.
