NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery @Rwanda Hub
The Global Surgery Unit began its relationship with Rwanda through the creation on the National Hub at the University of Rwanda, Kigali. The development of the national programme has resulted in the orchestration of several surgical trials carried out between 12 spokes across Rwanda, in addition to the primary Hub location in Kigali.
The Rwanda Hub resides over the recruiting, training, and management of the spoke hospitals. Furthermore, the Hub encourages and involves local surgeons, medical students, public bodies and community, in the promotion of quality surgical care and access in Rwanda.
