“Given the influx of soldiers wounded at the front, the hospital has a capacity of 65 beds in peacetime. In times of crisis, the hospital can accommodate up to 80 beds. The hospital primarily has a surgical vocation because it was in the context of operations that the hospital was created. So, it primarily has a surgical vocation, but that does not prevent us from also being able to accommodate other cases,” explains Captain Doctor Léonard Kabelengenze.

“We have two operating theaters, an emergency room, two pavilions, the imaging department, we have the new generation digital radio machine, we have a 3D image ultrasound machine, the pharmacy. And we have a dentistry department with a modern dental chair of the third generation. We have VIP hospitalization.
