Surgical training at the Bukavu referral hospital: a partnership for improving medical care
With the aim of improving the care of patients injured by weapons, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) recently provided the reference hospital of Bukavu, in the province of South Kivu, with a center surgical training. This initiative aims to transfer skills to hospital workers and extend this knowledge to all hospitals and health centers in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to Rodrigo Lopez, head of the ICRC, this collaboration will improve the quality of surgical care provided to people injured by weapons. Doctors, nurses and maintainers will benefit from this training, which represents a real advantage for the province of South Kivu, the DRC and the entire surrounding region.
Dr Guy Mulinganya, medical director of Bukavu hospital, underlines the importance of this initiative for his institution. By collaborating with the ICRC and setting up this training center, the Bukavu hospital will be able to offer better quality surgical care to war wounded, victims of armed conflicts and other violence.
This surgical training is part of the overall development of the Bukavu hospital. It will strengthen the skills of medical staff, improve surgical techniques and optimize patient care. This is a major step forward for the province of South Kivu, which will thus be able to offer quality medical care and contribute to the reconstruction of a region marked by unrest and violence.
The ICRC plays a crucial role in this initiative by providing its expertise and financial support. Thanks to this collaboration, the Bukavu referral hospital will be able to train its medical teams and improve the care of patients injured by weapons, thus helping to save lives and promote health and well-being in the region.
In conclusion, the establishment of a surgical training center at the Bukavu referral hospital represents a significant step forward in improving medical care in the South Kivu province. Thanks to this partnership with the ICRC, medical teams will have the opportunity to acquire new skills and perfect their practices, thus ensuring quality surgical care for patients injured by weapons. This initiative is an important step towards the reconstruction and stability of the region, providing essential medical care to those who need it most.
