The Government of Rwanda is doing its best to meet the needs of the population in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide perpetrated against Tutsi, which destroyed much of the socio-economic fabric of the country as well as its health infrastructure. The health system in Rwanda is a decentralized, multi-tiered system and it is composed of dispensaries, (primary health care, outpatient, referral), prison dispensaries, health posts (outreach activities – immunizations, antenatal care, family planning), health centers (prevention, primary health care, inpatient, maternity), district hospitals (inpatient and outpatient) and national referral hospitals (specialized inpatient and outpatient) which are: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK), Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Butare (CHUB), King Faisal Hospital (KFH) and the Kanombe Military Hospital. The following are some of the health facilities that have been introduced in the Rwanda health system.
