“This is the start of an upgrade that aims at making the 30-year-old facility more efficient and effective. The Government is financing the project through different mechanisms,” said Kalimba.
King Faisal is country’s biggest referral hospital in Rwanda. To further improve patient’s experience, they are in the process of hiring medical specialists in fields that they deem lacking in skills and are in high demand. Between 10 and 15 medical experts are expected to join the hospital which currently has about 40 specialists working both part-time and fulltime.
Kalimba, affirmed that the hospital was in sound financial position following the Government’s investment, which has allowed them to undertake the upgrade and specialist recruitment.
