@EUwimana @nsanzimanasabin @RwandaHealth Sorry for the experience. We agree this should not feel normal for patients. Changes are already being implemented, and we’re confident you’ll notice improvement on your next visit.

@NderaHospital @nsanzimanasabin @RwandaHealth I visit your hospital regularly and see many frustrated patients waiting. This is not an isolated incident, and it does not require justification. As a psychiatric referral facility serving almost the whole country, you must be given specific attention, adequate staffing&system.

@nsanzimanasabin @RwandaHealth something has to be done at CARAES Ndera as far as customer service is concerned! 1 person (cashier) is serving all these people (76)!

Kuri ubu haracyari abandi barwayi, harimo n’abanyamahanga, Ibitaro bigikora ibishoboka byose ngo haboneke imiryango yabo babashe gutaha.

Ndera Neuropsychiatric Teaching Hospital’s rehabilitation program has made significant progress in reintegrating previously 'unknown' patients throughout the year 2024-2025. Through joint efforts with the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration and the National Identification Authority (NIDA), biometric technology was applied to identify unknown patients. As a result, a total of 25 individuals, including six foreign nationals, were successfully discharged and reunited with their families. There are still other patients, including some foreign nationals, who are in the process of being identified. The rehabilitation and reintegration team continues to make every effort to trace their families and support each patient's safe return home.

@NderaHospital Umuntu ashobora kuza kwisuzumisha yumva nta burwayi afite ? Ese ni ubwishingizi cg ni ukwishyura 100%. Kwisuzumisha ni angahe ?

Ever wondered which conditions are most commonly treated at #NderaHospital? Based on the 2024-2025 report, here’s a quick breakdown in numbers:

Ukwakira ni ukwezi kwahariwe kwita ku Buzima bwo mu Mutwe!🧠 Bibaho ko wakwiyumva utameze neza. ✅Umuntu wese ashobora kunyura mu bihe bimukomereye – Ntabwo uri wenyine! ✅Guceceka, kubyihererana si wo muti. Tubiganire, kandi turwanye akato ako ari ko kose kajyana n'ibibazo by'ubuzima bwo mu mutwe. ✅Kuvuga ibyiyumvo byawe no gushaka ubufasha, ni intambwe igana ku gukira. “Ibibazo byo mu mutwe biravurwa bigakira, dufashe ababifite kwivuza kare kandi neza” ### October is a Mental Health Awareness Month.🧠 It’s okay not to feel okay. ✅Everyone faces challenging moments — you are not alone. ✅Let’s break the silence and stigma around mental health. ✅Speaking up and seeking support is the first step toward healing. “Access to Services: Mental health problems are treatable; Recovery is Possible” #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMatters

@achille_songa Thank you for asking. Are you referring to hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections? Yes, they can happen, but hospitals follow strict routines to prevent them. People go to hospitals to get better, not worse. Prevention should always be a core part of care.

@NderaHospital Could it possible that some people come to the hospital with normal condition, just a temporary situation and get sick because of the environment they live in?
