Two Doctors with a shared vision: The story behind RIIO Hospital

Over the years, the Government of Rwanda has been promoting a public-private partnership healthcare model, which allows players in the private sector to make their contribution towards developing the country’s health sector.
In recent years, eye care in Rwanda has improved tremendously, with the number of eye hospitals and specialists increasing, feeding into the national vision of bolstering healthcare services across the board.
For instance, in 2011, Rwanda had just eight eye care specialists but that number has since grown more than five-fold today, thanks to different efforts to train more ophthalmologists and nurses who can provide eye care services.
Today, Rwanda boasts of different eye care hospitals, some of them delivering services including surgeries which Rwandans often traveled to acquire abroad. One such facility is the Nyarutarama-based Rwanda International Institute of Ophthalmology (RIIO).

It's a great chance that the eye care in Rwanda is emphasized and we thank RIIO and its partners to have made this possible.
