background

The Kibuye Hope Hospital provides much-needed medical care in Burundi while investing in education of local medical students and doctors.

Burundi is one of the world's poorest countries, suffering greatly from malnutrition, malaria, and tuberculosis. The Kibuye Hope Hospital began as a mission hospital in the 1940s and has since partnered with Hope Africa University to train the next generation of Burundian doctors. Over 200 Burundian doctors – as well as hundreds of nurses and other health professionals – have received the majority of their clinical training at Kibuye Hope Hospital and are now practicing in every province of Burundi. The hospital sees over 31,000 patients each year and provides critical services in Maternity, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Ophthalmology, Malnutrition, Neonatology, and more. In addition to contributing to local employment and infrastructure, Kibuye Hope Hospital also supports the surrounding community via nutrition programs and the construction of a new primary school.
