STORYLINE:
A newly revamped hospital, constructed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), was officially commissioned Tuesday in Burera District in northern Rwanda.
The Butaro Level II Teaching Hospital, which was expanded from 150 beds to 256 beds, now features upgraded emergency, intensive care, imaging, and oncology facilities.
The hospital catered to a population of almost 350,000 before the renovation and expansion. With the hospital's capacity now increased, however, it will be better equipped to accommodate the growing population and function as a teaching facility for health professionals fr
