tertiary care, such as emergency services, surgical operations, maternal and pediatric care, and treatments for various medical conditions.[1][2][3]

In partnership with the German government, facilitated through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Medeor Action, the Women's Association for the Promotion and Endogenous Development (AFPDE) launched the construction of mortuaries at Uvira General Reference Hospital as well as the Hôpital Général de Référence de Ruzizi in Sange in March 2013.[4]

Location

The Hôpital Général de Référence d'Uvira is strategically positioned within the urban-rural health zone of Uvira in the Uvira Territory, specifically within the Bavira Chiefdom. It is situated along the main road that connects the provincial capital, Bukavu, to the administrative center of Fizi Territory.[5]

Geographically, the hospital is flanked to the east by the expansive Lake Tanganyika, to the west by the Mitumba Mountains, to the north by the commercial area of Mulongwe, and to the south by the locales of Kimanga and Songo.[5] The hospital is located approximately 128 kilometers from Bukavu and 28 kilometers from Bujumbura.[5]

History

The hospital was constructed in 1952 through the initiative of the Indigenous Welfare Fund (Fonds du Bien-être Indigène; FBI). The construction project was overseen by Mr. Khulpe, a Belgian construction director. Initially, the hospital was conceived as a surgical medical center, with Dr. Louis Rousseau, the inaugural physician, at its helm.[6] Dr. Rousseau was ably assisted by two religious sisters, nurses, and twenty-three lay nursing aides. The institution was instrumental in delivering healthcare services across the Uvira Territory and its vicinities.[6]

In 1980, the hospital was officially recognized as a general reference hospital within the rural health zone of Uvira. Since that time, it has played a vital role in offering comprehensive medical care to the area. Currently, the hospital is led by Dr. Bahati Bagale Yves, a Congolese surgeon.[6]
