ABOUT CUSO INTERNATIONAL
Cuso International is a non-profit development organization that works through volunteers.

ABOUT THE PARTNER ORGANIZATION
Rwanda Military Hospital (RMH) was established in 1968 as a military referral hospital, but since the end of the 1994 genocide it has been serving 80% civilian and 20% military patients. While RMH has been offering secondary and tertiary level health care services, its new strategic direction focusses on referral hospital and teaching activities.
