In Rwanda access to health care is very expensive. Insurance exists in the form of “La Mutuelle”, but for a lot of people it is too expensive.

In Kabgayi Hospital, Doctor Jean Bosco Ndacyalhio pays the insurance as well as the medical expenses of several people out of his own pocket because they are not able to pay. So we decided to support him by giving him a sum of money each month.

The cost of project is 910 €uros per month.

The purpose of this project is to permit poor people to have access to health services. In the hospital there is a social service bureau which works with this aim in mind. The person in charge of this project is Etienne Rukundo.

Our contribution is used both for medical expenses and to support families defray the cost of the Mutuelle Insurance.

Mutuelle Insurance costs 5000 RWF (= 7 euros) per family per year.

We have set up a Commission to run this project: Doctor Jean Bosco, Etienne Rujundo and Abbé Vincent (the hospital manager).
